Pick
UMBC has won two games in a row and they have scored 84.5 points per game in those two wins, but they also played well against Louisville in their first game. Loyola will be playing their second game in two days, as they played on Saturday afternoon. UMBC is the much better offensive team in this matchup, as they are scoring 80.3 points per game and shooting 46.7% from the field. Neither defense has started the season playing very well, so we may see some scoring in this game. I think UMBC will continue to roll and I am taking them in this game.
