Kjay Bradley Jr is averaging 14.5 points while shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 29.7 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Loyola Marymount Fell Just Short

Loyola Marymount was actually competitive in the last game against Saint Mary’s and they made a big comeback, but they ended up only losing by three points. In the first half, Loyola Marymount scored 19 points, and that offensive output cost them any chance. Caleb Stone-Carrawell had a strong game, putting up 17 points and two assists. Will Johnson was the only player who put up double figures. Two games ago against Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount picked up a 93-82 victory.

The Lions are averaging 70.1 points while their defense is giving up 70.7 points per game. The defense is ranked 144th, and they are going to need the defense to put the pressure on again, especially against a team on tired legs. Caleb Stone Carrawell is averaging 13.6 points while shooting 46.3 percent from the field and  35.8 percent from behind the three-point line. 

San Diego vs Loyola Marymount Prediction

San Diego is going to keep this game close. In the last game San Diego Faced off against Pacific, it was pretty clear that this offense has a lot of three-point shooting. Loyola Marymount’s defense has been inconsistent the last week, and they are going to really struggle again here. San Diego’s offense is going to run up the score, and that will be enough for them to get the job done. Back San Diego against the spread.
