A group of about 60 students witnessed Marques Townes and Clayton Custer walk off the court in disappointment after Loyola fell to Bradley University March 9 in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Tournament semifinals in St. Louis. While the Ramblers had a spot in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), the loss ended any hope for the team to repeat its Cinderella run in the big dance last season.
It was the final Arch Madness for the pair of redshirt senior guards, and it ended when Townes’ potential game-tying shot missed in the final seconds.
