T.M. Selection: Loyola MD.

I like Loyola MD to cover the spread against Lehigh in this game on Sunday. Loyola MD has won 4 games in a row now and they have all been games in their conference play. They won 1 of those games on the road by 8 points and the other 3 wins were on their home court. They have been getting hot in their games lately and I think they are going to extend their 4 game win streak with another win in this game. Loyola MD has been winning their games lately with good defense and I expect them to keep that up here on the road where they will need that defense. They have held the opposing team to less than 70 points in 3 games in a row and the last time they were playing on the road they held the opposing team to 58 points. Lehigh has won 2 games in a row too and they have been scoring a lot of points over their previous 4 games. They have put up 75+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games but they have also been giving up a lot of points in those games. I think Loyola MD has a better chance on the road here since they play defense better than Lehigh does and I expect that to be a factor here. Loyola MD will use their defense to slow down the pace here and not allow Lehigh to score a lot. I think Loyola MD can edge them out on the road, Lehigh has not been great on their home court anyway and they are only 4-4 this year. Lehigh has put together a nice little run in their games lately but I think that stops here. I like Loyola MD to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 68-61 Loyola MD.
