Today we’re taking an early look at the March Madness Sweet 16 matchup Oregon State-Loyola Chicago odds and lines. Don’t forget to check out all of the remaining teams’ March Madness odds, and check back later in the week for our full Sweet 16 breakdowns, picks and predictions.
Oregon State has been impressive so far in the postseason. The Beavers carried over the momentum from their surprising Big 12 Tournament victory, dispatching Tennessee 70-56 in the first round and Oklahoma State by an 80-70 count in the second round. The Beavers have covered five in a row, and they’re an insane 12-1 ATS across the past 13 games overall. The Over is also 7-1 across their past eight outings.
The Ramblers have rumbled into the Sweet Sixteen, topping ACC Champion Georgia Tech by a 71-60 score as five-point favorites in the first round. While some might argue they caught a break with ACC Player of the Year Moses Wright being held out due to COVID, there was nothing to say about their impressive second-round win. They bounced No. 1 seed Illinois from the tournament, much to the delight of 101-year-old super fan Sister Jean Schmidt. Cameron Krutwig dominated against the Illini with 19 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and four steals.
