Loyola Marymount Lions vs. Pacific Tigers Prediction

This matchup features Loyola Marymount’s recent offensive surge and quality backcourt scoring scoring against a Pacific Tigers team that has been more consistent on both ends of the floor relative to the Tigers in 2025. Loyola Marymount’s road inconsistency and defensive volatility make the Lions difficult to trust on the road. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Pacific Tigers to win this game.
