Current Records: Lafayette 3-9; Loyola-Maryland 8-6

What to Know

The Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds and the Lafayette Leopards will face off in a Patriot clash at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 13 at Reitz Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Lafayette winning the first 97-94 at home and the Greyhounds taking the second 88-69.

It was a close one, but on Monday Loyola-Maryland sidestepped the Bucknell Bison for a 71-67 win. It was another big night for Loyola-Maryland's guard Cam Spencer, who had 26 points along with six rebounds.

Meanwhile, Lafayette received a tough blow on Monday as they fell 69-55 to the Navy Midshipmen. Lafayette's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of forward Neal Quinn, who posted a double-double on 17 points and ten boards in addition to three blocks, and guard Tyrone Perry, who had 17 points.

The Greyhounds are the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-5-1 against the spread when favored.

Loyola-Maryland's victory lifted them to 8-6 while Lafayette's loss dropped them down to 3-9. We'll see if Loyola-Maryland can repeat their recent success or if the Leopards bounce back and reverse their fortune.
