Illinois State vs. Loyola Chicago
College Basketball Picks & Betting News

Illinois State vs. Loyola Chicago Odds, Pick, Prediction 12/27/20

December 27th, 2020 By: Admir Alijic

The 2020-21 college basketball season goes on Sunday, December 27, with the Missouri Valley Conference showdown between the Illinois State Redbirds and Chicago Loyola Ramblers, so I’ve prepared the best betting pick and odds along with the latest team news and stats. 

The Redbirds meet the Ramblers for the third time in 2020. They lost on both previous occasions while failing to cover, so it’s no strange that Loyola Chicago opened as a 13.5-point home fave for Sunday’s clash on DraftKings Sportsbook.   



Illinois State returns to the floor after 11 days

The Illinois State Redbirds played their last game on December 15 when they beat Chicago State 91-62 as 24-point home favorites. Since then, the Redbirds have had to cancel a pair of games against Valparaiso due to the COVID-19. 

Illinois State is 3-3 on the season, playing six non-conference games so far. The Redbirds are No. 226 in the KenPom rankings, scoring 97.4 points per 100 possessions (234th in the country) and allowing 103.2 in a return (222nd). 

.@Redbird_MBB forward Dusan Mahorcic's smooth, efficient game has been a big boost for the Redbirds. Read on to learn why the Serbian native turned down the chance to play professionally to pursue an education in the United States.https://t.co/D0h17lER8q

— Illinois State (@IllinoisStateU) December 26, 2020

Sophomore guard Josiah Strong leads the way for the Redbirds this season, posting 14.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. Another sophomore guard D.J. Horne tallies 13.5 points and 3.2 assists per contest, while junior forward Dusan Mahorcic adds 13.3 points and 8.7 boards a night. 

Loyola Chicago snapped a two-game skid last time out 

The Loyola Chicago Ramblers had a couple of tough matchups last week, suffering losses to Wisconsin 77-63 as 9-point road dogs and Richmond 75-73 as 1-point favorites at the neutral site. They bounced back with a convincing 92-55 home win over St. Francis to improve to 4-2 on the young season. 

Balanced attack, led by @Welch8Tom and @BaylorHebb, who scored 17 points apiece, helped #Loyola cruise to its 12th straight win at home, with a 92-55 decision over Saint Francis (Ill.).

— Loyola Men's Basketball (@RamblersMBB) December 22, 2020

The Ramblers are now No. 55 in the KenPom rankings. They score 107.6 points per 100 possessions (63rd in the country) on 53.0% shooting from the field (10th). On the other side of the ball, the Ramblers allow 92.7 points per 100 possessions (43rd) on 41.6% shooting (155th). 

Senior center Cameron Krutwig is the Ramblers’ best player this term. He’s tallying 17.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while making 62.5% of his field goals. Senior guard Tate Hall is posting 10.0 points and 3.2 boards a night, while sophomore guard Braden Norris is adding 9.7 points and 3.0 assists per contest. 

Trends:

Illinois State:

  • 4-14 ATS in the last 18 games on the road 
  • 6-13-1 ATS in the last 20 outings as underdogs 

Loyola Chicago:

  • 5-0 ATS in the last five showings as double-digit favorites 
  • 5-3 ATS in the last eight games against Illinois State 

The Winner Prediction

The Ramblers have won six of their last seven games against the Redbirds while covering four times in the process. As I’ve mentioned, the Ramblers have easily defeated Illinois State in their previous two meetings, covering an 11-point spread at home (84-69) and a 4.5-point spread on the road (62-50). 

Hereof, I expect the Ramblers to win and cover along the way. They are a much better defensive team than Illinois State which should be a key factor. Also, the Redbirds lack height and will struggle to cope with the Ramblers in the paint. 

Pick: Take Loyola Chicago -13.5 at -110 

The Total:

While the Ramblers prefer to play at a slightly slower pace, averaging 68.8 possessions per 40 minutes, the Redbirds tally 72.7 possessions per 40 minutes which are the 59th-most in the country. Still, I think the Ramblers won’t mind to speed up the tempo, so give me the over on the totals. 

Both these teams execute offensively well, shooting above 50.0% from the field per game. The Ramblers play aggressive defense, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they score a bunch of fast break points. Seven of the Ramblers’ last eight contests went in the over, as well as two of the previous four matchups between Loyola Chicago and Illinois State. 

Pick: Go over 140.5 points at -110
