Analysis

1-star (856) Loyola-Chicago -7 over Northern Iowa. 1:00pm ET. No. 1 seeds in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament are 28-0 SU/20-7-1 ATS in their first round game. The big reason is the fact they play a team on extremely short rest. Northern Iowa's win over Evansville last night wrapped up around 9pm EST so the Panthers are playing on only 16 hours rest here. Loyola-Chicago won each of the first two meetings this year. First at Northern Iowa 56-50 on January 7th and then the Ramblers crushed NIU at home 70-47. Loyola-Chicago is by far the best team in the Missouri Valley as they are on a 14-1 SU/12-3 ATS run. While Northern Iowa has won and covered 3 straight games, prior to that the Panthers were just 5-13 SU/4-13-1 ATS. The old adage of it's tough tough to beat a team 3 times in a season is overused. Quite simply Loyola is by far the better team as they have the better offense (No. 61 vs No. 205) and the better defense (No. 40 vs No. 65). I have this game power-rated at Loyola-Chicago by 9.23.
