Game outlook

The Loyola Marymount basketball team is looking to improve upon last season's record as they face off against St. Louis in an upcoming game. Although Loyola Marymount won their first game and suffered a double-digit loss in their last game, St. Louis had a reverse outcome with a loss in their season opener and a win against a non-D1 team. The odds currently favor St. Louis by -4 points, with no movement in the line since opening. Keep an eye out for updated odds as game day approaches.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Lions +168 | Billikens -205

Spread: Lions +4 (-110) | Billikens -4 (-110)

Total: Over/Under 151 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that St. Louis will win straight-up is 67%.

Loyola Marymount Lions

Loyola Marymount had a tough loss in their last game against UC Irvine, shooting poorly and failing to cover as a 1-point underdog. Jevon Porter led the team in scoring, but overall the team struggled offensively. Myron Amey Jr. and Alex Merkviladze had off nights, contributing to the loss. This upcoming game will be their first road game of the season. In terms of their power ranking and statistics, Loyola Marymount is ranked 44 in offense and 50 in defense. They have a 1-1 record so far this season. Offensively, they excel in field goal percentage and free throw percentage, but struggle in three-point shooting. Defensively, they have room for improvement in three-point defense and free throw percentage allowed. They will need to focus on key areas to bounce back in their next game.

St. Louis Billikens Analysis

St. Louis Billikens rebounded from a season-opening loss with a dominating win over non-D1 Avila, showcasing strong performance on both offense and defense. Leading the charge was Gibson Jimerson with 28 points, supported by Kellen Thames with 16 points and Larry Hughes II with 15 points off the bench. Despite missing injured star Robbie Avila, the team has players like Thames and Isaiah Swope stepping up. The team's statistics show solid shooting percentages but room for improvement in defensive play. Overall, the Billikens have a power ranking of 222 and have shown potential for growth and competitiveness in the season ahead.

St. Louis Favored to Win Against Loyola Marymount in Non-Conference Basketball Matchup

Both teams are currently tied with a 1-1 record, with Loyola Marymount coming off a recent loss and St. Louis securing a win against a non-D1 team in their last respective games. Despite one key player missing from the Billikens, they have shown promise by playing closely against a competitive Santa Clara team in their season opener. In contrast, LMU faced difficulties in their previous match, particularly with their shooting performance. As they face off in their first home game of the season, St. Louis possesses strong scoring options and a solid defensive strategy that will likely secure them a victory in this non-conference matchup. Therefore, it is recommended to support St. Louis as the favored team for this game.
