Queens vs Loyola Marymount Prediction
Loyola Marymount is possibly the more talented team and should get love at home, but I value teams that have a game under their belt over teams that don’t. While talented, Loyola Marymount has a lot of new faces, and it’s going to take time to put things together. Queens looked good in its season opener and is rolling offensively.
We can’t forget that Queens made the NCAA Tournament last season and brought back players who made that happen. I wouldn’t be shocked if Queens won this game outright. Give me the points with the Queens Royals on Wednesday night.
Queens Royals Betting Preview

Loyola Marymount Lions Betting Preview
Loyola Marymount won 15 games last season and enters year seven under coach Stan Johnson. Loyola Marymount hasn’t made the NCAA Tournament since the 1989-90 season.
Loyola Marymount has endless roster turnover, with Aaron McBride being the only key returner. McBride averaged 27.3 minutes per game and racked up 5.6 rebounds. All Wright is a solid addition from Xavier who was also a double-digit scorer previously at Valparaiso. Jevon Porter is with his fourth school and averaged 17.4 minutes last season at Missouri. Jasai Miles played in 26 games last season at Indiana and was previously a double-digit scorer at North Florida.
Loyola Marymount needs to build chemistry with all of these new faces, but there’s talent on this roster. It’s not enough to put a scare into the competitive WCC, but there’s enough here to work with and win 15-20 games.
