Tough loss with Pepperdine. . . however, I was wrong in that the Zags handled the Wave fairly well in the rebounding department while I thought Pepperdine would keep it close. Guess I deserved to lose even by only a point.
Hopefully we can make up some ground by taking Illinois Chicago laying 1 over Loyola Chicago. Both teams split their two previous meetings with each winning at home. However, Illinois outrebounded Loyola in both meetings and should maintain this advantage in the third meeting. Also feel that Illinois is on a mission after quality wins against Detroit and Wisconsin Milwaukee their last two games.
One final reason to take Illinois over Loyola:
They are 12 and 1 straight up this year when favored including 4 and 0 ATS on the road. I'll take my chances and go with the better rebounding team and hope they shoot the ball as well or better than Loyola. Certainly not a game to play for a large sum of money, but a regular play in my book.
Might be my only play as Tuesday's card isn't as promising as Monday's.
