The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles and the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers meet in college basketball action from the Joseph Gentile Center on Saturday afternoon.
The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles will look to build off of a 94-57 win over subdivision Florida National in their last game.

Franco Miller Jr. had 10 points with 4 assists to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Florida Gulf Coast in the win while Dakota Rivers had 9 points with a team-high 6 assists and a pair of steals, Andre Weir had 6 points with a team-high 10 rebounsd and Luis Rolon added 6 assists as well in the victory. As a team, Florida Gulf Coast shot 52.3% from the field, 39.4% from three and 59.1% from the foul line in the win.
The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers looking to build on their 103-45 rout of Coppin State last time out. Aher Uguak led the Ramblers with 16 points on 6 of 9 shooting with 4 threes while Bud Norris, Ryan Schwieger and Saint Thomas each had 13 points with Thomas and Norris each logging 3 threes, Norris chipping in 9 rebounds and Schwieger adding 6 rebounds as well in the win.

Florida Gulf Coast is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 9-3 in their last 12 games following a win by 20 more more points. Loyola-Chicago is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games while the under is 15-7 in their last 22 games overall.
I don’t expect the Ramblers to drop 100+ on Florida Gulf Coast, but I’m also not holding my breath expecting the Eagles to beat up the Ramblers offensively either. I think this is going to be a physical Loyola style of game, coming in under the number.
