LOYOLA CHICAGO
Take the points with Loyola Chicago tonight when they travel to take on Wisconsin Milwaukee.
Loyola has stepped it up recently, knocking off Valparaiso last Wednesday and winning at William and Mary on Saturday.
The Ramblers recent success has coincided with their hot shooting from beyond the arc. Justin Cerasoli has been the catalyst, hitting six of eight from 3-point range in the last two games and averaging 19 ppg during that span.
Loyola coach Jim Whitesell has a history of late-season improvement with his squad, having gone 20-7 SU in the month of February since taking the job four seasons ago.
Whitesell?s late-season success has contrasted with Milwaukee?s recent woes. The Panthers have lost six of their last seven and I don?t see them covering this number tonight, even at home.
Take the points with Loyola Chicago as they stay within the number and have an excellent chance at the outright win.
15 Dime ?
WRIGHT STATE
Take the points with Wright State tonight when they visit Butler.
Wright State is getting absolutely no love from the oddsmaker tonight. This is a 20-win team that?s a double-digit underdog against an opponent they?ve beaten three straight times and nine of the last 11 meetings.
Are you kidding me?
Wright State is a battle-tested team that?s used to playing tight games. In 12 of the Raiders last 13 conference games the outcome has been decided by single-digit margins. Ten of those games have been decided by four points or less.
Butler is a good team, there?s no doubt about that, but to ask them to cover this number against an opponent they?ve struggled against historically is just too much.
The underdog is on a 14-1-1 ATS run in Wright State?s last 16 lined games.
Take the points with Wright State as they keep this one well within the number.
