ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m probably sticking with Sacred Heart. The Pioneers have been playing pretty well over the last six games, and they’ve hit 78 or more points in four of those outings. Sacred Heart does have a few offensive duds here and there, however if they can get into the 70s in this one I think they’ll be okay cover-wise. Wagner hasn’t been scoring great lately themselves and likely wouldn’t be able to keep the cover pace in a shootout. Should be a close game, though.
