I think this matchup is going to be one to watch this season. I would not be surprised to see Missouri State upset Loyola Chicago in one of the two matchups they have in the regular season or perhaps in the conference tournament. Missouri State's offense can score with Loyola Chicago here. Missouri State is a very good shooting team and its offense is ranked 32nd in the nation overall. Loyola Chicago's tough defense has not been nearly as good as it was last year. Loyola Chicago has been overvalued all season and this spot is no different. I think Missouri State keeps this game close and covers the number in what should be a competitive game.
Ron’s Pick Missouri State Bears: +7 -110
