Two West Coast mid-majors clash Wednesday night when the Seattle Redhawks host the Loyola Marymount Lions at Redhawk Center in Seattle, WA. Tip-off is set for 10:00 p.m. ET with Seattle listed as -3.5 point favorites and no total posted as of publication. It’s a regional spot with tournament relevance, as both teams are hovering around .500 in conference play and looking to build momentum for a late-season push.
Seattle has quietly defended its home court well, while Loyola Marymount’s recent road form has raised red flags. With only a few possessions expected to separate these teams, small matchup edges and late-game execution could decide the spread.
Let’s break it down.

Loyola Marymount Betting Form
Loyola Marymount continues to be a high-variance team — capable of beating better opponents at home but fading fast away from Los Angeles. The Lions are just 2-5 SU and ATS on the road this season and are averaging under 66 points per game in those spots. While their offense can score in spurts, it lacks consistency when taken out of rhythm.
The backcourt is the strength. LMU leans on guard scoring and three-point volume, but they don’t always convert at a high clip. They’re shooting just 32% from deep as a team and lack a true post presence to force doubles. In games where the threes don’t fall, the offense often stagnates and leads to scoring droughts.
Defensively, the Lions play aggressively on the perimeter but are undersized inside. They’re bottom 100 nationally in defensive rebounding rate and allow over 52% on 2-point attempts — an issue that shows up consistently in second halves. They also struggle to defend without fouling, a weakness that gets amplified in road environments.

Seattle Betting Form
Seattle has been one of the more consistent mid-major programs at home this season, going 9-1 SU at Redhawk Center. Their ATS mark hasn’t been perfect, but they’ve outscored opponents by nearly 10 points per game at home, thanks in large part to a defense that locks in early and often.
The Redhawks don’t blow teams out, but they make you earn every possession. They rank top 100 in adjusted defensive efficiency and do a solid job limiting clean looks from beyond the arc. They also take care of the basketball — averaging fewer than 11 turnovers per game — which helps them avoid momentum-killing runs.
Offensively, they’re balanced. They don’t rely on a single scorer but instead spread it around, with four players averaging over 9 points per game. They also draw fouls at a high rate and shoot a respectable 75% from the line — a key angle in games expected to come down to the final possessions.

Loyola Marymount vs Seattle Matchup Breakdown
This isn’t a flashy matchup, but it has real betting value because the styles are so defined. Seattle plays slower, tougher, and more physically — especially at home. Loyola Marymount is more perimeter-reliant and often struggles with shot selection when forced into halfcourt sets.
Key Matchup Edges:
- Home-Court Strength: Seattle is 9-1 SU at home; LMU is 2-5 SU on the road.
- Interior Efficiency: Seattle shoots 53% on 2s; LMU allows 52% on 2s.
- Rebounding Edge: Seattle ranks higher in both offensive and defensive rebounding.
- FT Advantage: Seattle gets to the line more and hits at a higher clip.
If LMU can get hot from three, they’ll hang — but that’s a risky proposition in a tough road gym. More likely, Seattle’s physicality wears them down over 40 minutes.

Loyola Marymount vs Seattle Predictions and Best Bets
This spread opened at Seattle -3.5 and hasn’t moved much, suggesting that the market sees these teams as fairly even on a neutral floor. But this isn’t a neutral floor — Seattle’s home-court edge is real, and they’ve been the more consistent team against comparable opponents.
My projection is Seattle -5.2, so I see a little value in laying the points. LMU’s road splits are concerning, and unless they shoot lights out, they’ll have trouble generating consistent offense. Seattle won’t run away with it, but they’re better built to finish strong and close out games at the line.
There’s no total posted yet, but if it lands near 140–142, I’d lean under. Both teams play relatively slow, and if this game stays close, expect long, grinding possessions in the second half.
Best Bet: Seattle -3.5 (-110)
