Loyola Marymount prediction

[Braves2011]

I think this game will be a close game with Bradley winning 73-70. Going on past history we seem to play better when we play better teams. GO Braves

Bu 77
L.M. 73
We hopefully improve every game and if we can play more zone tonight in order to force them to shoot more outside shots we can win as long as our guards get more rebounds, also hoping that everyone is healthy and have followed all the rules so we can get our best players on the floor for the majority of the night.
Has anyone announced that A.Davis has red-shirted?
have a hard time understanding why he is not getting some minutes with all these games in such a short period of time if he is available to play this season.

I don't see how we can win this game. 1 day of rest for SM on those ankles makes me nervous. With JE out still presumably, and AD getting no playing time, that gives us a 9 man rotation with an ailing point guard and 2 players who can make minimal contributions. I'm expecting us to get outrebounded by double digits, and lose by double digits. Not being negative, just being a realist.

Got to play big (WE & JP) and hit the glass Just got to get some help from MK and AT Guards need to press and ball hawk the full court Shoot a lot of 3's for a high % as they have a big front line and the lanes will be closed
Do this, BU win's by 10 76 to 66

I'm going to be strangely optimistic and using no logic predict BU 71 LMU 59.

I agree. These things happen, and I would not be surprised that playing up to better competition might actually lead to a bigger margin of victory.

That said, I think -9 is a bit optimistic, at least until I see Bradley play at least close to a complete game. So I will say BU 70-63 over LMU.

Guys, guys, guys!!!!!!!

LMU lost to Morgan State....... MORGAN FRIGGIN STATE!!!

We'd better beat these guys! I'm with Mayhem on this. BU wins and covers the spread (which is now 5).

I exspect BU to shoot free throws better than last night and other than SM maybe, no one should have any fatigue issue's. These guy's are 18-22 yr.olds and should be able to run all day long. I am hoping with more pt time for AT that we will start to see more improvement from him (if he can just catch the ball). I look for this team to tough it out again tonight and win a close one.

BU Those numbers almost require BU to play two "posts" at the same time. I would expect Prosser, Egolf, AT, and Milos to rotate as they have been doing this season. I really think it may force BU out of the 4-guard we have seen so much this season.

BU has to limit the Lions to one shot a possession. We cannot afford to give multiple looks, deep in the post.

Loyola M. likes to push the ball and get to the line. Staying out of foul trouble should help BU immensely.

BU should take advantage of the 17+ turnovers the Lions are averaging this season. IF BU can eliminate the defensive lapses, limit Loyola M. to one shot per trip, and not give the Lions 40+ FT's, I think they have a shot.

Hey...I got the pick wrong tonight, but I did hit a few things correctly.

BU did go with double posts, at times.

BU did keep the Lions off the FT line for the most part.

BU did limit the Lions on 2nd chances......late in the game. They did not do so early on.

BU did benefit from the Lions awful TO's.

GO BU
