Slow Start for Boston College

It has been a slow start for Boston College and even though they sit with a 2-1 record overall the wins haven’t been all that dominant. They beat The Citadel by only nine points and Temple in the last game by three points. Two games ago against VCU, it was an ugly game as the offense scored only 55 points. Against Temple, they scored 46 points in the first half but in the second half they only scored 26 points and that led to the game staying close. The Eagles shot 42.6 percent from the field and 35 percent from behind the three-point line. Elijah Strong had a strong game putting up 25 points, 13 rebounds, and one assist. Boston College will take on Old Dominion and Dartmouth after this game.

Why Loyola Will Cover against Boston College

• Boston College has lost three of its last four games at Silvio O. Conte Forum following a home win.

How Does Loyola Bounce Back?

Loyola sits with a 2-2 record overall but they are coming off a disappointing loss in the last game. Loyola Maryland faced off against VCU and they scored only 57 points while the defense gave up 83 points and that led to the defeat. In the second half, they were outscored 47-27 and that led to the defeat. Milos Ilic had a strong game putting up 10 points, eight rebounds, and one assist. Braeden Speed had a good game also putting up 10 points, three assists, and one rebound. In this game, if Loyola wants to find success, they are going to need the defense to be better here. If the defense struggles, this is going to be a very long game. Loyola MD will play against VMI, Coppin State, and Delaware State following this one.

Loyola vs Boston College Prediction

Boston College has played down to everyone that they have played this season and it’s going to be the difference here. I expect Loyola Maryland’s offense is going to be better here, and that is going to be the difference here. Boston College’s offense is going to struggle to pull away and it’s going to be Loyola that is going to get the job done here. Back Loyola Maryland against the spread here.
