The Loyola Marymount Lions are traveling to the University Union Pavilion in Moraga, California to face off against the Saint Mary’s Gaels. The Loyola Marymount Lions are 9-17 on the year and 3-9 in conference play, following a 6 point win against the Santa Clara Broncos. The Saint Mary’s Gaels are coming into this game off of a 8 point win against the Pacific Tigers, making them 21-6 on the year and 8-4 in conference play.

The Loyola Marymount Lions enter this matchup averaging 65.1 points per game and 68.5 points per game. The Lions are led by junior guard, Eli Scott. Scott is leading Loyola Marymount in scoring, rebounding, and assist. Scott is averaging 15.9 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game, and 4.5 assist per game. Scott will have to step up if the Lions want a chance to keep this game close.

The Saint Mary’s Gaels are averaging 75.9 points per game and also allow 66.2 points per game. The Gaels are led by senior guard, Jordan Ford. Ford leads the Gaels in scoring, averaging 20.8 points per game and also shoots an impressive 48.0% from the field. Ford has been great lately and will need to keep it up if the Gaels want to cover the spread.

In this Matchup I like the Saint Mary’s Gaels to win and cover the spread. The Gaels are a much better team and the Lions will not be able to keep up with the amount of scoring that Saint Mary’s does. Final score prediction, Saint Mary’s Gaels will win in blowout and easily cover the spread 81-63.
