The Loyola men’s basketball team (16-9, 9-3) picked up a come-from-behind, 56-51 victory over Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana Sunday afternoon.
The Ramblers were led by redshirt senior Marques Townes who finished with 18 points on 7-for-17 shooting. Sophomore center Cameron Krutwig also added 12 points and snagged eight rebounds.
The first half saw Loyola keep pace with the Crusaders despite only shooting 39.1 percent from the field. The Ramblers were led by Townes and Krutwig, who contributed 14 of the team’s 22 first-half points. Redshirt senior guard Clayton Custer ended the half with a buzzer-beating three-pointer while falling down after a pass from first-year guard Cooper Kaifes.
