Why a betting man would take Loyola Marymount on saturday.

They will probably be getting at least 5 to 10 points at home due to 0 and 7 record.
Heart Breaking loss at Boise could could prove to be deflating for Wyo.
Loyola has played the 110th best schedule in country vs 315th for Wyo.
Before the Boise State game, Wyo had the 340th ranked schedule out of 343 teams.
None of Wyoming's opponents have a winning record (except for Boise State).
Five of seven teams Loyola has played have winning records including an 11 point loss to top 10 ranked Notre Dame.
Loyola comes off a road loss to "Big Boy Program" Arizona - in comparison, a home game with Wyoming should prove far less difficult.
Wyoming: After barely winning at home vs Texas State, Texas State goes to Greeley and gets hammered by Northern Colorado (a team "still transistioning" from Division 2).
After a less than convincing win vs Denver, Denver goes to Montana and gets pounded by the Grizzlies.
Game is "Homecoming Game" for Loyola.

I think that this will be a character test for Wyoming. If they win, it probably wont be by much, but after the Boise game, they NEED this game. :o
 
I think you will probably win the game tonight. We have lost even more players since the Notre Dame game (which was a good effort). I expect another good effort tonight but we are playing guys that wouldn't even see the floor if it weren't for the injuries. But your point about the line is a good one. LMU is a 7.5 to 8.5 dog depending on the casino. I think we can probably keep it close but I for one won't bet the morgage! :lol:
 
I don't think it's quite fair to compare our games with DU and Texas St because both teams live and die with the 3 pointer and of course against UW they were making their 3's from NBA range. Besides DU beat UNC by about the same amount as SDSU did.
