Loyola Chicago was banged up earlier this season, but is finally healthy. 6-8 senior Xavier Amos (11 ppg, 3.6 rpg) has played the last three games, teaming with 6-10 Miles Rubin (10.7 ppg, 7.4 rpg) up front. Loyola Chicago was underdogs of +15.5 and +9.5, but beat Santa Clara (80-78) and Rhode Island (61-57) on the road. Virginia Commonwealth is 11th in the 14-team Atlantic 10 in points given up (73.5 per game) and in shooting allowed (.443), plus ninth at defending beyond the arc (.348). VCU is on a 4-8 ATS run, including 1-5 ATS as favorites of nine points or more. Play Loyola Chicago.

Pro Picks
Loyola Chicago vs. Virginia Commonwealth
Loyola, Chicago will face VCU in an Atlantic-10 Conference Tournament semi-final game. There is a lot at stake, with the winner going to the final and a chance for an NCAA Tournament bid. VCU is projected as a #11 seed, but that could change with this game. The Ramblers are 22-10 on the season and will have to win two straight and get the conference's automatic bid. Both of these teams bring above-average defense into this game, and with so much at stake, expect a low-scoring game as the defenses control the court. VCU has held 6 of their last seven opponents to 62 or fewer points. Loyola is 10-1 in their previous 11 games and has held nine of those opponents to fewer than 70 points. I don't think either team gets to 70 here. Make the play on the UNDER.
