They have a 6-6 record, they haven't won in 2 weeks, but today they can notch a win I think.. They have lost to Ohio, GW, Colo, Oreg St (all pretty good teams IMO). They did well to start the season beating Stanford and winning 6 of 7. Tough stretch they had since Dec 11th, but today I think they can get back in the W column. They still average 75 pts per game and still had around 70+ pts per game in the six losses lately. They can definitely score & although the tempo will be slow today, they have the chance to score if they play smart. They should be focused today bec the next game is against Marquette (solid) so to get a much needed win, the focus has to be today & beating a fairly weak Loyola team..
On the other hand, I am not impressed with the Loyola Maram team. They have also lost two games in Hawaii, against two good teams, but only put up 53 & 35 pts in regulation. They have 3 wins this season, one against a Div II school.. I just don't think they will be able to keep up with Depaul, even if they try to slow the tempo down greatly. I think they will keep it close in the first half maybe and then get outscored in the second. They want a win before they go home, but so does Depaul. I can see a 8-10 pt win for Depaul maybe?? Line is fairly low, so I will ride with it. BOL today GT!!!
