What went down: The Loyola men’s basketball team (23-5, 13-3) traveled to the University of Evansville and defeated the Purple Aces 76-66. The victory meant Loyola clinched at least a share of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) title for the first time in program history. This also marks the first time Loyola has clinched a conference title since the 1984-85 season.
How it happened: The Ramblers struggled in the first half, committing nine turnovers and trailing 28-27 at the break. In the second half, Loyola stormed back, shooting 70 percent from the field –– 50 percent from three-point land –– and outscoring Evansville to complete the comeback.
