Loyola Chicago Ramblers vs Saint Joseph’s Hawks. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Saint Joseph’s Hawks. Without Obinna and Klaczek, St. Joseph’s frontcourt pair who are injured, the team has not been as formidable.

Both continue to be under consideration for the A-10 Tournament. The Hawks have the firepower to handle Loyola even without their presence.

In the two victories, they outscored the Ramblers by more than 21 points in each contest. Loyola had trouble scoring this season and scored less than 70 points in the two games this season versus St. Joe’s.

In contrast, St. Joe’s scored over 80 points on average in its two victories.

With the Ramblers averaging 17 turnovers per game versus St. Joe’s and ranking lowest in the conference in turnovers, anticipate the Hawks to once again fully capitalize on this weakness.

St. Joe’s is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 games, while Loyola is merely 1-4 ATS in the last five contests. On Tuesday afternoon, St. Joseph’s will likely defeat Loyola for the third time in a row.

The Saint Joseph’s Hawks will win to a predicted score of 74-69.
