Loyola may be down 2 of their rotation. They both will at least be limited. Day 2 on injuries could be tough. This makes me more "meh" on which match up is better for the Shockers.

Winner of Game 1 is @B1ShockFan: for picking Loyola within 2 of actual margin (as did @AndShock:). @B1ShockFan:'s prediction of total score was closer to actual total than @AndShock:. @B1ShockFan: advances to make a selection in Game 3 tomorrow.
