There is no doubt that Gonzaga is arguably the best team in the nation, but that has only put a hit marker on them from every other team in the WCC. Loyola is one of the best defensive teams in the nation as they are holding opponents to an average of 61.8 PPG, and the student body will show out for this one and get behind the home team. Gonzaga wins but fails to cover, 76-61.
