Loyola Marymount vs UTEP Prediction
I’ll stick with the Lions. Loyola Marymount has looked pretty good through three wins so far and they’re coming off a competent effort versus a struggling AR-Pine Bluff team in their last outing. LMU shot 48.4 percent from the field with just six turnovers in that one, however they got bullied up front on a 36-34 rebounding deficit and a 44-24 disadvantage in the paint. The 57.1 percent free throw shooting wasn’t great either. Still, that makes 70 or more points in all three games thus far; if Loyola Marymount can keep that streak going here they should be in decent shape. UTEP has a couple of easy wins in the bag so far and this game will give us a good idea of where the Miners stand in the early-going this season.
