Pick of the Day

UT Arlington

The Mavericks started out hot this season, and even cracked my top 25, but they struggled early in their conference schedule, meaning they will probably miss the tourney, although they could win the Sun Belt if they continue to win like they have lately, and tonight's game against South Alabama should help.
