Drake Bulldogs vs Loyola Chicago Ramblers 2/19/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Drake Bulldogs will meet with the Loyola Chicago Ramblers in a Missouri Valley Conference clash in Joseph J. Gentile Center, Chicago, IL, on Saturday, February 19, 2022, at 6:00 PM (EST). The Drake Bulldogs dropped three of their past four matches, indicating that they are having a bad season.

On the plus side, Drake enters this match on a high note after defeating Evansville by 22 points at home in its last game. Drake’s defense was outstanding in that game, allowing only 51 points while forcing the opposition to shoot only 37.7% from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the three-point line.

However, given the Bulldogs’ 66.6 point per game average, that outstanding defensive performance was a bit shocking. With a conference away game coming up next, Drake will be aiming for another strong defensive showing.

Freshman guard Tucker Devries led the Bulldogs offensively this year, earning 13.7 points per game and 4.8 rebounds per game. He’s also only generating 1.3 turnovers per game, indicating that he is very conservative with the ball up to this point.

The University of Drake Bulldogs is 6-14 ATS in their last 20 matches.
Drake is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 matches against Loyola-Chicago.
The total went UNDER in 4 of Drake’s last 5 matches in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Drake Bulldogs vs Loyola Chicago Ramblers Predictions 2/19/2022

The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers come into this game in good shape, having won four of their past five games, including a two-point road win against the Valparaiso Beacons.

Loyola-offense Chicago was efficient in the game, scoring 71 points while shooting 50.9 percent from the field. However, the Ramblers won 11 of their first 14 conference matches, so that excellent outcome was not shocking.

With a home game on Saturday night, Loyola-Chicago will be seeking another conference win. Senior guard Lucas Williamson, who looked outstanding this season, leads the Ramblers offensively, scoring 13.4 points per game and a team-high 4.6 rebounds per game. He’s also hitting 41.3 percent from the three-point range, indicating that he’s a threat from beyond the arc.

The total went OVER in 4 of Loyola-Chicago’s last 6 matches.
The University of Loyola-Chicago Ramblers is 19-1 SU in their last 20 matches at home.
Loyola-Chicago is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 matches in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Drake Bulldogs vs Loyola Chicago Ramblers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Loyola Chicago Ramblers. There is a skill gap between these two teams, as Loyola-Chicago earned 20 of its first 25 games while Drake earned 18 of its first 27 games.

Drake also dropped three of its past four games, while Loyola-Chicago gained four of its last five, so I’m not optimistic about the Bulldogs in this one. Plus, according to KenPom Rankings, Loyola-Chicago is ranked 54th in defensive efficiency, whereas Drake is ranked 113th in defensive efficiency, therefore I anticipate the Bulldogs to suffer more on offense.

As a result, the home team has some value in this matchup. The Loyola Chicago Ramblers will win to a predicted score of 72-63.
