The Ramblers recorded 20 assists on the day — their highest total of the season — and shot 56.9 percent from the field. They were led by sophomore center Cameron Krutwig, who tallied 16 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes. Redshirt senior guards Clayton Custer and Marques Townes also propelled Loyola with 16 points apiece.
“I’m proud of our guys,” Loyola head coach Porter Moser said after the game.
