Loyola Marymount vs Florida Atlantic Prediction
I’ll lean toward LMU. The Lions had a scare versus UCSB in their latest outing, despite shooting a decent 43.3 percent from the field and staying competitive on the boards (38). The turnovers (11) weren’t terrible either, but Loyola Marymount’s ugliest stat was the 15-of-29 (51.7 percent) from the line. That’s got to get better moving forward. Still, that makes 70 or more points in every game so far for the Lions; they’re certainly scoring well.
As for FAU, they looked good versus Pacific in their last outing. The Owls shot 55.8 percent from the field and hit 13-of-16 (81.3 percent) from the line alongside a 27-21 rebounding advantage. The 13 turnovers were just about the only thing to complain about. FAU has 82 or more points in all four of their wins so far this year, and this one could be a pretty high total as well. It’ll be a fun one to watch.
