Randy’s Free Pick
The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are heading in the wrong direction at the worst possible time, and you can understand why they’d be underdogs even at home. However, let’s not act like George Mason is lighting the world on fire. George Mason has had issues defensively recently and loses on the road by an average of 6.2 points. Loyola-Chicago has the ability to steal a home game here to stop the bleeding. It’s the points or pass for me.
