Current Records: Loyola Marymount 7-6; San Diego 9-7

What to Know

The San Diego Toreros haven't won a contest against the Loyola Marymount Lions since Feb. 7 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought this past Saturday. The Toreros and Loyola Marymount will face off in a West Coast battle at 9 p.m. ET at Jenny Craig Pavilion. San Diego should still be riding high after a victory, while the Lions will be looking to regain their footing.

Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, San Diego beat the Portland Pilots 68-63 this past Thursday. San Diego can attribute much of their success to guard Marcellus Earlington, who posted a double-double on 21 points and ten boards.

Meanwhile, things couldn't have gone much worse for Loyola Marymount as they lost 97-73 to the San Francisco Dons this past Thursday. Loyola Marymount's defeat came about despite a quality game from guard Eli Scott, who had 22 points.

The Toreros are expected to lose this next one by 3. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, as they've failed to beat the spread in four of their seven home games.

San Diego is now 9-7 while the Lions sit at 7-6. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: San Diego is 48th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.5 on average. Loyola Marymount has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the second most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 16.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
