Chattanooga vs Loyola Chicago Same Game Parlay Picks for NIT Semifinals April 1

March Madness just kicked up a notch and this NIT semifinal matchup should be an interesting one. Chattanooga barely slipped past Bradley in a nail-biter while Loyola Chicago handled Kent State with a double-digit win. On the flip side, both teams have a habit of coughing up the ball, which should turn this into a chaotic game – perfect for your best parlay bets for March Madness.

With a trip to the NIT finals on the line, it’s also a good time to check out some more NCAA basketball futures. Chattanooga is +400 and Loyola Chicago +325 to win the NIT. Let’s break it all down.

Chattanooga vs Loyola Chicago Free NIT Semifinals Parlay Picks Today, April 1

1. Chattanooga +3.5

Look, neither team’s odds to win March Madness are great, but I’m backing Chattanooga here. Why? Loyola Chicago’s offense is just that bad. Sure, the Ramblers will dominate the glass – because the Mocs wouldn’t recognize a rebound if it hit them in the face.

However, Chattanooga has been shooting the lights out, now sitting 44th in the nation with 9.7 triples per game, per NCAA betting trends. That could spell real trouble for Loyola’s defense. In short, I’m backing the Mocs’ hot shooting to take this one.

Bet Chattanooga +3.5

2. Chattanooga vs Loyola Chicago Under 145.5

My 2025 March Madness predictions are telling me this one’s staying well under 148 points. Yes, the Mocs can fill it up when their shooting’s on, but both teams are careless with the basketball – Chattanooga is averaging 10.2 turnovers per game, and Loyola Chicago is committing 12.2 turnovers.

It won’t be a pretty game by any means, but don’t expect a Little League score, either. Points will go back and forth, but not enough to hit 146. Take the under in your online bet and prepare for a sloppy one.

Bet Under 145.5 points

3. Trey Bonham Over 15.5 Points (-117)

Mocs guard Trey Bonham may not be the leading scorer, per NCAA basketball news, but I’m backing him to drop 17+ points. Bonham played a key role in the Mocs’ comeback win over Bradley, and if they want to make the finals, he’ll need to step up again.

Look for him to tear apart Loyola Chicago’s defense and hit some big shots to cash this college basketball player prop bet. Keep in mind, whenever Bonham scores at least 15 points, the Mocs have won.

Bet Trey Bonham over 15.5 points (-117)
