Gonzaga vs Loyola Marymount Game Preview


Why Loyola Marymount Will Win

The Lions can play a little defense.

They might not put up points in bunches, and they don’t have the size to hold up if this gets into a rebounding war, but it’s an active team that will force a slew of mistakes and is strong enough at defending the three to matter.

No, the threes aren’t there to keep up in any sort of a shootout, but it’s not a bad shooting team – it finds ways to get to the rim.

It’s going to have to grind this down, get to the free throw line, keep this in the 60s, and …

Why Gonzaga Will Win

It’s the team’s first game since getting dropped from No. 1 in the AP college basketball poll.

It’s not like it doesn’t play every game with a bit of an attitude, but with six days off it should be at another level at home.

No one moves the ball around for the easy shot quite as well, and no one generates points from a variety of ways like the Bulldogs do.

There’s no need to do much out of the norm here. Loyola Marymount can’t hang on the boards with this bunch, and it turns the ball over way, way too often – there should be a whole lot of fast break points to turn this into a rout early on.

What’s Going To Happen

There are going to be lots and lots of points.

Gonzaga will do its part to carry the point total load, but Loyola Marymount will get its share of points helped by a big night on the free throw line. It won’t be close to enough to win, but it should make this a bit more entertaining than the normal Bulldog coronation.

Why Loyola Marymount Will Win

The Lions are playing extremely well.

They might have struggled in a loss to BYU, but they won five of their last six games by shooting lights out from the field, well enough from three, and by getting to the free throw line over and over and over again – and making the shots.

That’s not normal for LMU, but it’ll take it. It takes firepower to not get obliterated by Gonzaga, and if the Rams can keep making 50% of their shots and fearlessly bomb away from the outside, the shot will be there to do this.

Why Gonzaga Will Win

Gonzaga played relatively poorly and didn’t hit from three against Santa Clara, and it still ended up pulling away to win by 14.

No, the overall competition hasn’t been great, but the Bulldogs are still breathtaking with their ability to put teams away once the gas pedal is pushed. Sometimes it happens right away, or it could kick in late, but it’s coming.

LMU might be shooting well lately, but it turns the ball over way too often. It’s going give up way too many easy points to the Bulldogs.

What’s Going To Happen

LMU can hit 50% of its shots and still get rolled. It’s not going to hit 50% of its shots and it’s not going to be able to keep up once Gonzaga goes on a big run.

Expect that scoring dash to come fast after the way the team played against Santa Clara.
