Boston Univ. vs Loyola (MD) Prediction
Loyola MD is getting the benefit of the doubt because it’s at home, but I’m not buying it. Loyola MD has lost seven of its last 10 games and has issues scoring. Boston U is playing the better ball right now, which includes a couple of nice wins over Holy Cross and Bucknell. Boston U has also owned Loyola MD, which includes wins in nine of the last 10 games. Boston U has also covered eight of those games. We’re getting a free bucket with the team in better form and a team that’s owned the recent history. Give me Boston and the points on Saturday afternoon.
