Pick of the Day

Florida Gulf Coast

The Eagles were tournament darlings recently when they pulled off two upsets, and now they are looking to return to the tourney after upsetting top seeded North Florida in the last round. Today in the championship they are hosting Stetson, which was the #7 seed out of 8 in the conference, so they should take home the title.
