PICK: I’m going to stay with Bowling Green. Probably not touching this one, though. The Falcons need a good bounce-back effort from a flat shooting effort versus Wright State. Bowling Green hit 39.1 percent from the floor in that one with a rough 5-of-24 (20.8 percent) from 3-point range. St. Bonaventure is coming off a pretty flat offensive effort themselves, so if Bowling Green can rebound quickly I think they’ll be fine.
