The set-up: LBSU was 11-21 last year. This is its first game of the current season. Loyola Marymount opened with an 85-83 win over Southern Utah to open its season, before then falling to Minnesota twice. Note though that Loyola Marymount lost the second game by just three points, taking the Golden Gophers right down to the final moments.

The picks: LBSU returns nearly all of its scoring from last season, but I still don't think it'll be enough vs. this already tested home side. Teams which have been affected by COVID-19 issues have struggled to start the season and I think that's the case here for LBSU. Consider laying the points with Loyola Marymount on Friday night.
