The Loyola men’s basketball team came to Enterprise Center March 5 and demonstrated the high quality of defense that gave it the No. 1 scoring defense in the country during the 2020-2021 season. Even though the second half saw a slower offensive performance from the Ramblers, they were able to create a substantial lead over the University of Northern Iowa in the first half to finish with a 66-43 victory.
The Ramblers will advance to the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Championship for the second consecutive year and for the third time in five years.
