Seattle vs Loyola Marymount Prediction

I’ll lean toward LMU but I’m probably not touching it. The Lions powered out a nice comeback victory over Washington State this week despite shooting just 36.9 percent from the field with a 34-29 rebounding deficit. LMU posted 22 points off 16 Cougars turnovers though, and did well from the line at 82.4 percent (14-of-17). That gives the Lions a 4-2 run in the last six games and consecutive wins under their collective belt.

Back on January 21 when these teams last met, the Lions took a 69-59 road loss. It wasn’t a great effort by LMU, as they coughed up 20 turnovers and got outscored in the paint 36-22. The Lions didn’t shoot badly though (44.7 percent) and held Seattle to just 41 percent on defense. Still, there’s plenty to clean up in the home rematch.
