Valparaiso at Loyola Marymount

The Loyola Marymount Lions are coming off their best game of the season when they went on the road to take down a St. Mary's team that is bound for the NCAA Tournament. We have seen this before from this team, and they have had real problems getting the energy level up in their next game following a major upset. They beat UCLA then went out and lost outright as a -5.5 point favorite. They beat St. Louis and lost outright in their next game as a -7.5 point favorite. Valparaiso is a very good team that is looking for their 20th win of the season and has been 11-3 in their last 14. The Lions have also not been as effective defensively vs. the good teams on their schedule, allowing 71+ to Harvard, Florida State, BYU, St. Mary's, and Gonzaga. The Crusaders play up as a dog where they are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 as a dog of 6.5 or less, while the Lions have bitten the bullet in that same range as a favorite, at 0-5 ATS in their last five. The Lions have also been 6-1 to the OVER in their last seven vs. a team with a winning road record. Play this one on Valparaiso and the OVER.
