UNC-Greensboro vs. San Jose State Prediction

I’m on UNC-Greensboro here. I just don’t think we’re getting enough points with San Jose State to take a shot on them here. San Jose State does have the edge at the foul line, and usually, when I take a dog, I want a team that’s going to hit their free throws. However, UNC-Greensboro is just the more talented team here and historically has been one of the stronger mid-majors out there. I’ll side with UNC-Greensboro here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: UNC-Greensboro -4.5
