What to Know

The Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Greyhounds and the Holy Cross Crusaders will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Hart Recreation Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Loyola-Maryland was just a bucket short of a win this past Saturday and fell 56-55 to the Navy Midshipmen.

Meanwhile, the oddsmakers predicted a rough game for Holy Cross on Monday, and boy were they were right. They have to be aching after a bruising 87-60 loss to the Colgate Raiders. The losing side was boosted by guard Kyrell Luc, who had 21 points in addition to five boards.

Loyola-Maryland is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 4-8-1 against the spread when favored.

Loyola-Maryland beat Holy Cross 79-70 in the teams' previous meeting in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Greyhounds since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
