Why Loyola Chicago can cover
Loyola Chicago is riding a three-game winning streak and has won five of its last six games, including a 77-69 win at Davidson on Tuesday.

He shot 7 of 13 from the floor and 5 of 10 from 3-point range while adding three rebounds and three assists.
The Ramblers are a few close calls away from being in contention at the top of the conference standings, as two of their Atlantic 10 losses have come in overtime.
