Loyola Chicago @ Chattanooga picks

Both schools are red-hot with each team going 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games. But while the Mocs have thrived on offense since the start of February (30th in adjusted offensive efficiency), they've been awful on the other end of the floor (283rd in adjusted defense). Meanwhile, the Ramblers are 43rd in adjusted defense during that span but have also been solid with the ball, ranking 107th in adjusted offense. Chattanooga has a small backcourt anchored by 5-foot-10 Honor Huff and 6-foot Trey Bonham. They'll struggle with the length of Loyola's guards and when the Mocs get into the paint they'll have to deal with 6-foot-10 center Miles Rubin who is seventh in the country with 84 blocks. In addition, the Ramblers come out of the Atlantic-10 which is the sixth-best conference per the RPI ratings while the Mocs hail from the Southern Conference which is ranked 16th.
