Loyola Chicago at Wright State

The Ramblers were just 5-11 through 16 games, and two of the wins were over non-Division IA programs, two in OT, and a win over 4-20 Eastern Illinois -  certainly not much of a resume. They have now won three of four over much better teams. They may not be the same team as a year ago when they started winning late, but certainly a much improved team. Wright State has won eight in a row now and is red-hot. However, they have only covered in three of them! The reason is that six of those wins have come by 1, 1, 4, 2, 6, and three points. They are winning all of their close games and with the Ramblers playing much better, and having a one-point game against Wright State earlier, when they weren't as good, gives us good confidence they will be close here.
