Loyola Chicago at Cleveland State

The Vikings are in a unique spot. The long-time doormats of the Horizon League are suddenly a good-sized chalk against a team that has beaten them 11 straight times and we think for good reason. It is tough to go on the road when the man taking the bulk of the shots is hitting just 35% from the field and is your top scorer. It's been a season-long problem for the Ramblers, barely shooting 40%. The Vikings have done some things that were unthinkable over the last decade. This year they already own wins over South Florida and Florida State They have eight wins already nearly matching last year's 10. Loyola is down this year and will have trouble being a factor in the Horizon, while Cleveland State may have enough to be in the top three. There is a lot of payback on the line tonight for 11 straight losses to Loyola, and Cleveland State finally has the better team and is at home, so we look for them to put a solid double-digit beating on Loyola.
