Loyola-Chicago vs Saint Louis Prediction

Loyola-Chicago just beat Saint Louis a couple of weeks ago, scoring 78 points on 43 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent shooting from deep. The bucket would be worth a look. However, Saint Louis is coming off a couple of wins which includes going into Davidson and leaving with a big win. Remember, Saint Louis had big expectations with the additions it made this offseason and while things haven’t clicked completely, we’re seeing flashes. Saint Louis is 12-3 SU at home this season. Saint Louis will be a team to watch these next few games and potentially in the A10 Tournament. I’ll lay the bucket with Saint Louis.
