This is the first time this season that both teams will be tested. UC Santa Barabra had a scared in their last game on the road against an underrated Hornets team. The Gauchos are currently 4th in the country from behind the arc with Loyola Marymount being in the middle of the pack with defending the perimeter. However, the Lions have been defense force their opponent inside the arc where they’re holding their opponents to less than 44% shooting. Loyola Marymount’s defense is the better unit while also having an offense to keep this one close.
