Northern Iowa is a Top 20 team and deserves it. They're playing great team basketball behind Seth Tuttle, losing only two games all year. UNI’s 13-game win streak is tied for the fourth-longest streak in the nation and their 11 road/neutral games rank as the second-highest total in the country. 6-8 Senior Seth Tuttle (16 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per game, 3.2 assists per game) is ranked #4 in the nation in field goal percentage (.629) and leads the team in assists - a terrific all around player. The Panthers are 12-3-1 ATS on the road, plus 9-1-1 ATS on the road against a team with a winning home record. They are a great defensive team, but oddsmakers are making their totals far too low now as they're on a 4-1 run OVER the total. The Panthers are also 12-5 OVER the total against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Loyola-Chicago is a good team, but are 3-9 ATS at home vs. a team with a winning road record. Both teams have plenty of offensive punch, so look for a high-scoring tilt (the OVER is 4-1 when they meet) and back the visitors as they continue their amazing season. Play Northern Iowa and the game total OVER.
