I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams that have struggled all year, but I’m certainly not siding with Loyola Marymount in the favorite role on the road. Loyola Marymount is losing its last five games by an average of 13.8 points and loses on the road by an average of 8.4 points. It’s Portland or pass. Loyola Marymount is terrible.
