Loyola Marymount has gotten off to a strong start as the Lions are 10-5. They will head to Washington St. tonight to take on the 6-9 Cougars. Both teams have shot the ball reasonably well this season, averaging in the 70s, and they have combined to average 76.5 ppg. Loyola Marymount is 7-3 to the OVER following a home game, and that moves to 5-1 to the OVER following two straight home games. These teams met last March in a game that saw 171 total points scored, and I look for another fast-paced game, with positive shooting. Make the play OVER the total.
