Rodney Brown Jr. (14.6 PPG) and Myron Amey Jr. (14.1 PPG) are the Lions’ top two scorers this season. Amey has only scored two and eight in his last two games. From November 28 to December 30, Loyola Marymount played seven games on its home floor, winning only three of those games.
With Loyola Marymount on a losing streak while San Francisco is winning five of six games, I’m taking the Dons to cover the +1.5 spread. San Francisco has won four of the last five matchups against Loyola Marymount on their home court.
