Dayton at Loyola Chicago Game Prediction
Loyola Chicago (20-8, 12-3) is 13-2 at home this season and has won four straight in the friendly confines. However, the Ramblers are coming off a 79-64 road loss at St. Bonaventure on Tuesday. The loss snapped a 7-game winning streak.
The Dayton Flyers (22-5, 12-3) are coming off an 80-66 home win over Davidson on Tuesday but had lost two of their previous four games prior to that win. Dayton is 5-4 on the road this season and lost their last road contest to George Mason 71-67. The Flyers are currently projected as a six-seed according to Joe Lunardi’s latest bracketology update.
Both teams are looking to get back to the NCAA Tournament, but Loyola Chicago is currently projected to be on the outside looking in. A win over the nationally-ranked Dayton Flyers could get the Ramblers back on the bubble.
