Saint Louis at Loyola Marymount

Under Rick Majerus, St. Louis has gained the reputation of being a methodical, slowdown team that goes deep into the shot clock, shortening games. That was because he was usually on the floor with less talent than his opponent, but that has changed and along with it the pace of the game. That was shown when they hung 80 on Villanova and came back for 83 against Oklahoma. The Lions are playing with some zip themselves as they have averaged 80 points per game over their last two, so neither team will be slowing this one down. They are facing a reputation total that is definitely too low. The Billikens are now 5-1 to the OVER in their last six as road chalk, and the Lions accommodate the OVER to a 9-2 mark in their last 11. The OVER is the play in this one.
