Last year these teams played twelve games against common opponents. UCSB went 7-5 SU and ATS while Loyola went 4-9 SU and 3-9 ATS. From those teams Loyola lost four starters while UCSB lost just one. Think there's a mismatch here? We do! A look at what has happened already this season will confirm that. The Gauchos are 6-1, with their lone loss coming at Stanford to a very good Cardinal team. Loyola is 2-5 SU and 0-6 ATS! This team has already had three games in which they shot 37% or less from the field and three games in which they allowed 53%+ field goal percentage to their opponents. Under head coach Rodney Tention, Loyola is 14-24 ATS as an underdog. Over the past two seasons, this team is 5-16 ATS in that role. UCSB gets a big win.
