The Loyola men’s basketball team (9-2, 1-0) will add another Chicagoland competitor to its list after scheduling a game against Saint Xavier University in Gentile Arena Jan. 2.
This matchup will replace a previously scheduled game on the road against Southern Illinois University, which was postponed due to COVID-19 concerns within the Salukis program.
Loyola hasn’t returned to the court since defeating Vanderbilt University Dec. 10. Both of the Ramblers’ final games of 2021 against Norfolk State University Dec. 19 and Davidson College Dec. 22 were canceled at the discretion of Loyola Athletics.
