Loyola MD vs Boston U Prediction
I’ll take a stab on Boston but in reality I’m staying away from this one. The Terriers pulled off a solid road win over a struggling Holy Cross team this week, hitting a nice 54.3 percent from the field and 55.6 percent (10-of-18) from outside. Boston U also had a 32-29 rebounding edge and just six turnovers but did pretty poorly from the line on 54.5 percent (12-of-22). The Terriers are 1-3 in their last four games but two of those defeats were overtime finishes.
These teams last saw each other back on January 17 in a 74-57 loss on the road for the Terriers. In that one Boston shot an ugly 32.7 percent from the field with 20.7 percent (6-of-29) from 3-point range and 15 turnovers. There’s plenty to clean up but the Terriers should have a decent shot in this one.
