Despite Defensive Woes, Ramblers Beat the Spartans 75-62

Coming off a heartbreaking last-second loss to North Carolina State University in the Paradise Jam, the Loyola men’s basketball team (6-2) looked to recover with a victory over Norfolk State University on Nov. 30. And that’s just what the Ramblers did when they outlasted the Spartans 75-62.

Although Loyola held the edge for majority of the game, the Ramblers found their lead in jeopardy during the second half. After being up eight points at halftime, the Ramblers fell victim to an 10-3 run by the Spartans to make it a one-point game.

The lead hovered around three points for the the next eight minutes, and then the Ramblers took off with a 12-0 run of their own to go up 13 points.
