Belmont vs Loyola Marymount Prediction
I’m on Belmont here. The Bruins in my eyes have just been far more consistent from an offensive perspective so far this season and Loyola Marymount just can’t seem to get out of their own way. The Lions have played some teams tough, but in the end, I think Belmont’s going to end up being too much here and I think they snag the win and cover.
