UIC Flames vs La Salle Explorers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/22/24

The gambling gods looked favorably upon us on Tuesday with an easy winner out of Bowling Green to ease the pain of Monday’s brutal ETSU loss. We’ll look to get on the plus side for this week on Wednesday after a good 5-2 week last week. Two weeks ago, we had a rough one, but that was on the heels of a 6-1. All in all, I hope you’ve enjoyed the write-ups and some of the recent successes.

On February 17, our travels take us to Chicago, where the Loyola Chicago Ramblers host the Valparaiso Crusaders. Loyola is favored by 20.5 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada"><strong>Bovada Sportsbook</strong></a> with a total of 127.5. We’ve got an 8 p.m. ET tip-off for this one and ESPN+ will have coverage.
<h3><strong><u>Valparaiso</u></strong><strong><u> Crusaders</u></strong></h3>
Valpo won’t be the Crusaders for long, as the university’s administration polled students, alums, and others regarding the name and whether or not it should stick because of the violence associated with Crusaders. We’ll see what they’re going to be called, but they’ll be the Crusaders for now and a team on a crusade to knock off another legitimate opponent.

It was Valpo that dealt the Drake Bulldogs their first loss of the season back on February 7. Valparaiso lost the first game by just three points and then beat a shorthanded Drake bunch by 17 the next day. After an unsurprising letdown against a Bradley team that is far better than its record indicates, the Crusaders split the weekend set with Northern Iowa.

This is not a great Valpo team. These aren’t the Bryce Drew teams that we saw in the past. Matt Lottich has done an admirable job after a big talent exodus around the time that Drew left, but the Missouri Valley Conference is a tough place to be. Up until 2017, Valpo was in the much easier Horizon League. The loss of talent plus the conference change has made life tough for Valpo, but they’ve still been competitive.

This is a pretty bad offensive team. The Crusaders are 333rd in ORB% and 314th in 3P%. They take a three nearly 41% of the time, so their inability to make long jump shots has been a big hindrance. They have shot the three a little bit better in conference play at 32.1%, but that is still one of the worst marks in league play.

Valparaiso has done one thing well in conference action and that has been to take care of the basketball. Their 17.1% TO% is second in MVC action. Defensively, this is about a middle of the pack unit.

<h3><strong><u>Loyola Chicago Ramblers</u></strong></h3>
If you just look at this game statistically, you can see why Loyola Chicago is favored by 20.5 here. The Ramblers are a top-five defense per Bart Torvik in adjusted defensive efficiency. They are 22nd in eFG% defense. They do all the little things well. They force turnovers. They rebound well. They don’t foul. They play well on the perimeter and on the interior, despite a low Block%. They are 34th in NP%, which is Near Proximity Percentage per Haslametrics, a metric that represents how often teams get to the rim on the opposing defense. Loyola Chicago plays very good defense in that regard.

This is also a strong offensive team. The Ramblers are third in the nation in 2P% at 59.6%. They do take a lot of mid-range jumpers, with the fourth-highest MR% in the country, but they make a lot of those shots. Those are typically not good shots to take, but the Ramblers have made a lot of them, particularly in league play.

If we apply a conference-only filter, the Ramblers lead the MVC in adjusted offensive efficiency, eFG% offense, 2P%, adjusted defensive efficiency, eFG% defense, TO% on defense, 3P% against, and 2P% against. There aren’t many weaknesses to this team, if any, and they have all but locked up an at-large bid, even if they don’t emerge victorious from Arch Madness.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
We can’t just go by the stats, though. There are a few factors in play here. The first is that Loyola Chicago just played two games against Drake. Going back to playing a vastly inferior team is tough in my estimation. The second is that Loyola Chicago plays at the 327th-ranked tempo in college basketball. Usually the home team and/or the better team dictates the pace of a game.

That means that Valpo will be playing at Loyola’s slowed-down pace. It is hard to get blown out in a game that could very well have 64 or 65 possessions. Valparaiso should be competent enough defensively to hang. Of course, that should have been the case in the first game, when Loyola Chicago won 75-39, but Valpo was 3-of-20 from three and a very young team was just overwhelmed.

I’d expect better tonight.
<h4><strong>Pick: Valparaiso +20.5</strong></h4>

Do the BYU Cougars have the ability to hold off the triple option? Can the Navy Midshipmen replace one of the great option quarterbacks of recent years? These are just two of the questions on the minds of college football bettors at BetOnline in advance of the Labor Day matchup between the two, which takes place on Monday night at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis. Game time is 8 PM ET, and it will be televised on ESPN. As of now, the brigade of midshipmen will not be allowed to be in attendance, despite a recent appeal to the state of Maryland.

BYU has really had to revamp its schedule. As an independent, it's hard enough to get opponents, but teams like Utah, Michigan State, Minnesota, Arizona State and Missouri are off the slate, with Western Kentucky, Army, Texas State, Troy and Texas-San Antonio added. Also, the game with Navy was a natural, as Notre Dame, because of an ACC commitment it had made, canceled a game with the Middies.

BYU was wildly inconsistent last season, beating formidable opponents like USC, Utah State and Boise State, while losing to Toledo and South Florida. And they lost to the host team in the Hawaii Bowl.

Navy finished 11-2 last season, whipping Army in the annual rivalry game and then beating Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl. They were nationally-ranked. But that was with Malcolm Perry at quarterback, and he set an FBS record for a QB with 2017 rushing yards (that was second in the nation). Noiw Perry's gone, and the Midshipmen, who have also lost a number of running backs for various reasons, have to come up with a viable triple option without the benefit of spring practice.

BYU's intention was to go with a four-man defensive front this season, with the flexibility to use a 3-4 from time to time. They may need that three-man front against the Navy option, but defensive coordinator Itaisa Tuiaki hasn't faced off against a triple option before.

In the college football betting odds posted on this game by the folks at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline</strong></a>, BYU is now a favorite after opening up as an underdog:

<strong>BYU Cougars -1.5 (-116)</strong>
<strong>Navy Midshipmen +1.5 (-104)</strong>

<strong>Over 52.5 points +100</strong>
<strong>Under 52.5 points -120</strong>

When you look at BYU, you see the signs that this offense may suffer from some of the same ills it had last season - that is, a running game that doesn't exactly jump out at you, a receiving corps that is somewhat uninspiring, and quarterbacking that is inconsistent. Even when healthy, Zach Wilson has given no indication of being what the Cougars thought he'd be when they signed him as a touted high school recruit.

They will once again do "running back by committee," especially as De Vonta'e Henry-Cole, who transferred from Utah, moved on to Utah State. Gunnar Romney (31 catches, 377 yards) is the best returning wideout, but losing tight end Matt Bushman - one of the best at his position in the country - to an Achilles injury is a big blow. This does not look like a unit that is "explosive," and we say that even knowing that they have a couple of All-America candidates (Brady Christensen, James Empey) on the offensive line. They had a hard time in the red zone last year too, scoring points on only 73% of their trips (that was 120th in the nation).

Speaking of "explosive," that is precisely what Navy was in 2019, as 17.8% of their plays fit that category (that was tops in the country). But that was with Perry at the helm, and he was a huge playmaker. They are likely going with Dalen Morris at quarterback, because he is the senior on board. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo has been shuffling things around in the backfield; some players got injured, others opted out due to COVID-19. Jamale Carothers (734 yards, 14 touchdowns) is the top returnee, but there is no guarantee the Middies are going to be automatically cohesive. Let's not forget that before Perry became the option QB on a full-time basis, the Midshipmen went 3-10 in 2018.

It's always tough to prepare for a n option attack, because you simply can't replicate the speed and timing that you're going to see in a real game. But the Cougars may have a chance to slow things up a bit. With nose tackle Khyiris Tonga, they've got a good head start (assuming they can play some three-man fronts). They are getting healthier in the secondary with the return of Zayne Anderson and Chris Wilcox. And they have a very good group of linebackers.

Navy's defense wasn't bad last season, allowing just 105.8 rushing yards per game, tenth best in the country. It is true that the Middies, who blitz a lot, could potentially get burned on a big play or two. But BYU isn't necessarily going to be reliable moving the ball, especially with Bushman out. We appreciate what each side can do, but the defenses may be ahead of the offenses at this point. <strong>UNDER</strong>
