# 875 pepperdine +9
loyola marymount is completely out of their element laying this kind of chalk...they have played 25 games vs board teams and won 2 of them by double digits and both of those were in the comforts of gersten pavilion...they have been the favorite in just 7 of those 25 games and the biggest chalk they were in those games was -6...only 2 times did they lay points away from los angeles and one was a straight up loss and the other a 4 point win...this number is inflated due to pepperdine's losing streak but this is a team that has known for over a month now that all that is left to play for is the wcc tourney so i'm not so sure we got max effort coming down the stretch...these teams split the season series so we know pepperdine feels they can compete...check this one out...loyola marymount has not won a road or nuetral court game vs a board team by double digits in the last 61 instances!!...this team has shown improvement this season but they aren't to a point yet where they lay this number comfortably in a nuetral setting...too many points for a club that doesn't relate to putting teams away late in games...this will be a dogfight and +9 is a beautiful price here...here are my 3 other plays in cbb for friday.
# 843 georgia state +6
