TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20TH
#824 SANTA CLARA (-11′) over Loyola Marymount at 11 PM EST
Fired up off that nine-point straight up loss at St. Mary’s and with another tough road war at Washington State on deck, Santa Clara will steamroll LMU in this WCC matchup. Back on January 16th, in their own backyard, the Lions put together one of their best defensive efforts of the season and knocked off the Broncos 57-54. Rest assured; head coach Herb Sendek and his crew will get their sweet revenge here.
Historically speaking, Santa Clara has played well in this series posting an elite 5-1 SU record in the last six meetings. In addition, when running the floor with same season single revenge and currently battling a foe that owns a team won/loss percentage of .501 or higher, the Broncos carry an outstanding 45-29-1 ATS mark including a golden 12-0 ATS provided their opponent lost to the Las Vegas pointspread by 9.5-points or more last. Finally, in their last 14 priced as a double-digit favorite, Coach Sendek and his boys hold a respectable 9-5 ATS tally.
This isn’t the best wagering spot for skipper Stan Johnson and his players. In conference play storming the court without momentum off a SU and ATS loss, the Lions own a feeble 27-71 SU and 41-56-1 ATS record provided their opponent slips in with four or more days of rest. In this setting busting in off a true road war, LMU falls to a miserable 14-40 SU and 20-34 ATS including a pitiful 9-38 SU and 14-33 ATS provided it sports a conference won/loss percentage less than .500.
Ranked 19th nationally in three-pointers per game (10.3), the Broncos will launch it from the cheap seats and grab this dub and cover. Take Santa Clara. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
