Bradley faces Loyola Chicago on Saturday, January 8th, 2022 at Joseph J. Gentile Arena for a college basketball MVC matchup.
Bradley is coming off a 71-69 loss to Missouri State at home in its last game on January 5th. Bradley has opened up conference play with two tough losses in games the Braves were competitive in. Bradley is 7-8 overall this season and 0-2 in conference play with a 7-7 against the spread record as well. Bradley's leading scorer so far this season has been G Terry Roberts, who has scored 15.9 points per game for the Braves this season and has earned 4.0 assists per game as well. F Rienk Mast leads the team in rebounds per game with 7.7. Bradley as a team has scored 71.8 points per game and has shot the ball at a 44.1% clip from the field. Bradley has also allowed 67.3 points per game to its opponents as well.
Loyola Chicago is coming off a 79-74 win over San Francisco in a neutral site game on January 6th. Loyola Chicago started conference play with a win over Indiana State back on December 21st, but after that took down some tough competition in non-conference play with wins over DePaul, Vanderbilt, and San Francisco. Loyola Chicago is now 10-2 overall this season and 1-0 in MVC with a 6-5 against the spread record.

Loyola Chicago is a 13-point favorite and the total is set at 135.5. Loyola Chicago played on January 6th in Utah and now has to travel back home on only one day's rest. It is a tough ask, even for a team as strong as Loyola Chicago, to be able to dominate a good Bradley team and win this game in the mid-double-digits. I think we see a better Bradley team here than we have in MVC play thus far, and I like Bradley to at least cover the number.
