UTEP are off their first loss, but they are a good team who have played some tough teams so far and are battle tested so this is a good bounce back spot for them. They fare up well against Loyola Marymount and both are even in skill and talent but the difference in the game will be that UTEP plays better defense so take the points in what will be a tight game from start to finish and come down to a buzzer beater.

UTEP are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games against an opponent in the West Coast conference. Loyola Marymount are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. UTEP is 8-1 ATS after playing a game where both teams score 65 points or less over the last 3 seasons. LMU is 2-11 ATS after playing 2 consecutive games as favorite over the last 3 seasons. LMU are 0-1 ATS this season, 4-6 ATS in the last three seasons, and 36-63 ATS since 1997 as a home favorite of 6 points or less or pick.

Best bet: take the points with UTEP.
