ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll likely stick with VCU in this one. The Rams are on a solid six-game winning streak right now and looking good. VCU has hit 72 or more points in five of those games and should post a pretty decent total in this one as well. As for St. Bonaventure, they’re on a sketchy 2-4 run right now but they’ve shown flashes of potential here and there. All things considered however, I don’t think the Bonnies will be able to keep the pace if VCU gets rolling.
