Seems like a lot of points for the first game against a veteran team.

OT: St. Mary's favored over UW-Madison by 3.

SMC & UW-M are playing at a neutral site.

Reading some preseason articles about Loyola, it seems like they have their sights set on a tourney bid this year. They may not be a typical first game cupcake. A 20 point spread might be tough to cover for us given that we've got a pretty different squad compared to last year.

Hopefully this is a decent test for us and gets us off to a good start. It's always nice to feast on a few cupcakes to build confidence, but it's never too early to start boosting the NET.

Guess this is far from a cupcake game
