The Santa Clara Broncos and Loyola Marymount Lions meet Saturday in college basketball action at the Gersten Pavilion.
The Santa Clara Broncos look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Santa Clara Broncos are averaging 69.7 points on 42.3 percent shooting and allowing 58.3 points on 33.5 percent shooting. Josip Vrankic is averaging 18.2 points and 8.8 rebounds while Keshawn Justice is averaging 10.8 points and 7.7 rebounds. Jaden Bediako is grabbing 8.5 rebounds and Jalen Williams is dishing one assist. The Santa Clara Broncos are shooting 27.2 percent from beyond the arc and 64.9 percent from the free thitem line. The Santa Clara Broncos are allowing 29.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 39.7 rebounds per game.
The Loyola Marymount Lions look to stay hot after winning five of their last seven games. The Loyola Marymount Lions are averaging 71 points on 42.4 percent shooting and allowing 70.3 points on 42.9 percent shooting. Demeane Douglas is averaging 13.7 points and seven rebounds while Eli Scott is averaging 13.6 points and nine rebounds. Joe Quintana is the third double-digit scorer and Keli Leaupepe is grabbing five rebounds. The Loyola Marymount Lions are shooting 31.3 percent from beyond the arc and 69.7 percent from the free thitem line. The Loyola Marymount Lions are allowing 38.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 34.4 rebounds per game.
The Broncos are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 Saturday games. The Lions are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. The over is 19-7 in Broncos last 26 road games. The under is 7-3 in Lions last 10 overall. The road team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Santa Clara Broncos have the defensive effort to turn things around, but the problem is they can’t score the basketball and it leads to inconsistent results. The Loyola Marymount Lions have a little more balance to their attack and have covered five of their last seven home games. This game could go either way, but I trust Loyola Marymount a lot more with its balance to get the job done.
