My 10* NIT FIRST ROUND TOTAL OF THE YEAR is on the over between Loyola Chicago and San Jose State at 11:00 EST. Loyola Chicago finished 22-11, while San Jose State was 15-19. The Ramblers finished fourth in the Atlantic 10, but eventually lost to VCU by a score of 62-55 in the semis. Overall the Ramblers though average 107.8 points per 100 possessions and allow 101.1 the other way. One player to keep your eyes on for the visiting side is Jayden Dawson, who averages 13.2 points and 3.1 boards per game. San Jose State averages 106.9 points per 100 possessions while conceding 106.1 per 100 possessions. Josh Uduje averages 16.3 PPG to lead the way. Neither defense is great and I'm expecting each side to really push the pace as each comes in fresh with a few extra days off between games. This number is low, so the play is the over.
