Tulsa vs Loyola Chicago Best Picks and Prediction
Expect the Golden Hurricane to have difficulty scoring in this game after the Ramblers held their first two opponents to a combined 40 percent shooting from the field. The Ramblers have been doing well offensively, scoring more than 75 points per game on 50% field goal shooting after winning their first two games.
They are highly active on the offensive glass and do a fantastic job locating the open guy, which will result in more possibilities for scoring. Loyola Chicago should win this game and cover the spread because the Golden Hurricane have had trouble stopping teams this season, allowing at least 73 points in two straight games.
