Missouri State at Loyola Chicago

Loyola, Illinois has become one of those mid-major programs of the likes of Gonzaga and Creighton, that plays well above the level of a mid-major. The Ramblers are off to a sizzling 14-2 start to the season. It all starts on the defensive end of the court as they have held opponents to 41% shooting and just 32% from beyond the arc. They play methodically on offense in typically limited possession games. Missouri St. is not an easy win and this should be a competitive game as the Bears can match the Ramblers on the defensive end, as they allow 42% from the field and 32% from deep. This should be played at a high level, and both teams are very solid on the defensive end. Make the play on the under.
