Loyola Maryland at Army

Patriot Tournament - Semifinals

Loyola, MD, and Army are one win away from the Patriot Conference Championship game. Loyola, MD is here off an upset of Navy, their first win over Navy in four tries this season. The win came because the Greyhounds shot the ball far better than any previous game this season, as they connected on a sizzling 58.2%. That is not likely to be repeated, as 12-8 Army has only allowed 12-1 Colgate to shoot better than 46% against them. Loyola has really struggled to handle the ball of late. Their last three games have seen them turn it over a total of 57 times or 19 a contest and that won't cut it here. Their turnover-to-shot ratio has been 38.3% which is ridiculously high. Army has turned the ball over an average of 11 times in their last three, so the better team is going to have a huge advantage in possessions here. Make the play on Army.
