ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stick with USC Upstate. Probably not touching this one, though; neither team has played all that well lately. That said, it should be a competitive game. USC Upstate managed 76 points in their last game, which was their highest total since way back on January 7. The Buccaneers have scored 73 or more in three of the last five, so it’s probably going to take a quality offensive effort to get over the proverbial hump here. If the Spartans get off to a good start and play to their capabilities I think they’ve got a good shot at a cover in this one.
