loyola marymount -10 ............. loyola is tall. portland is short. very short. Loyola gets mahority of points from 2 and FT. They don''t shoot 3's well and don't take many. Portland sucks at shooting from anywhere on court, except they shoot 80% from FT line. Unfortuntaely for Portland, they won't be able to get to the FT line against a very tall Loyola. Loyola takes away Portland cutting to the basket offense and Portland can't shoot from outside, so look for Loyola to clog the lane and collapse on D. Loyola will go inside every possession and look for a ton of 2s and potentially a lot of FTs for Loyola. Kenpom has loyola as a -15 on neutral per 100 possessions. Portland plays very fast, so look for them to push. I also believe loyola gets a bunch of transition buckets as well as should dominate the glass. Unless Portland shoots uncharacteristically good from 3 point range today, I look for loyola to cruise to a dd victory and cover the -10
