4* Money Maker
(NCAAB) Loyola-Chicago vs. Southern Illinois,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -115.00 Loyola-Chicago (Away)
Result: Loss
Taking LOY-CHI here. So, like the Atlantic Sun Tournament, we will back the lower seed being favored over the seed above them. Again. That is basic play for me. Much like when we see the 'ranked' team on the road as a dog to some unranked team. But as I look at this years game between these 2, I see something in our favor. Southern Illinois shot 50% in their first win on the road, and 56% at home to close out the regular season. Which, even hitting 56% they won by a bucket. On the year these guys make 43% of their shots. I can't see this shooting continuing during the tournament. Loy-Chi again is the 5 seed, yet has much better odds than their 4 seed counterparts this afternoon. 4* Money Maker LOYOLA CHICAGO
