Saint Louis Billikens vs. Loyola Chicago Ramblers Prediction
I’m on Saint Louis here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in some spots, but the problem with the Ramblers is that they’re not very good and they’ve been getting drilled all season long. Nothing’s stopping from Saint Louis from dropping 100 here and I think the Billikens nail the Ramblers. Give me Saint Louis.
