Chattanooga vs Loyola Chicago Prediction 

Chattanooga has picked up two very impressive wins over Bradley and Dayton in their last two games, so they shouldn’t be intimidated at all against their foes from the A-10. The Mocs are shooting over 48% from the field this year and they are scoring 79.6 points per game. Loyola Chicago was able to handle Kent State rather easily in their last game, but they also had a very nice win over San Francisco prior to that. The Ramblers are only shooting 45.7% from the field, but they play very tight defense and have allowed 64 points or fewer in three of their last five games. This should be a very fun game to watch, but I like the under in this game, as I think Loyola’s defense will really slow things down.
