Pick of the Day

There was only one game yesterday, and I had already picked both of the participants earlier in the season, so today I am picking 2 teams to make up for it.

VCU

Marquette

VCU is hosting Liberty tonight, and the Rams are looking to get back on track after ending a 3-game losing streak earlier in the week, and the Flames are just the team to do it against. Marquette has won 8 straight and is hosting Presbyterian in a few hours, and the Blue Hose are really not a team that will frighten the Golden Eagles.
