ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably go with VCU in this one. The Rams are looking pretty good over this 6-1 span, and they’ve hit 73 or more points in three straight games. These teams last met up on February 3 at Chaifetz Arena. In that matchup, the Rams ended up with a 73-65 road win thanks to a 39-34 second half. Saint Louis is 3-1 in their last four games and they’ve scored 78 or more points in four straight. VCU is going to have to post a big offensive effort in order to cover in this rematch, but with a comfortable home game in store I think they’ll be fine.
