What our Post expert thinks about Friday’s March Madness games

Speedy Claxton’s Hofstra could be an intriguing upset pick for those looking for a contrarian play in brackets and survivor pools.

The Pride come into the tournament in good form, and will take on a high-octane Alabama side that can be vulnerable if it isn’t finding success from downtown.
