Indiana State at Loyola Chicago

The Nick Kladis Classic is set to match first game winners Indiana State vs. Loyola Chicago. Loyola, Chicago had a disappointing 14 win season a year ago, but should up that total this season as they return all five starters. What might be even better news is that the Ramblers got 21 points off the bench from Terrence Hill, who sparked a second half that saw them shoot over 63%. Indiana St. looked good in their opener, but this is a far better opponent playing in front of their home crowd. The Sycamores are now 1-5 ATS after allowing 50 or less in their last game, and the Ramblers have the talent, experience and depth advantages here, not to mention the home court as well. I'll go with Loyola, Chicago here.
