These two teams have played twice this season. In the first matchup, Saint Joseph’s won 86-55 at home. In the second matchup in Loyola Chicago, Saint Joseph's won 83-71. Here we are in the Atlantic 10 Conference tournament, and Saint Joseph's sits at only a -1.5 point favorite. In terms of the metrics, Saint Joseph's ranks higher in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. Loyola’s offense turns the ball over at an alarmingly high rate, they rank 350th in the nation in turnover percentage. The Saint Joseph’s defense does a good job creating turnovers, so we will look for this to be a key aspect in the game today. We will lay the 1.5 points with who the numbers (and the matchup history) suggests is the better overall team. Our wager is a half unit on Saint Joseph's -1.5.
