NORMAL — A quiet Gentile Arena without any fans went almost silent Monday when Cameron Krutwig crumbled to the floor late in the second half against Illinois State.
Loyola's 6-foot-9, 260-pound senior center was clutching his right leg in pain. Ramblers head coach Porter Moser hurried out to check on Krutwig, a two-time all-league first-team choice and possible MVP this season.
Turns out it was just a cramp, much to Moser's relief. After getting stretched out by the athletic trainer, Krutwig limped to the bench and didn't play again as Loyola cruised to an 86-55 victory in Chicago.
