For the first time all season, the Loyola men’s basketball team’s (14-7, 4-4) bench made its presence known and played a key part in the Ramblers’ 67-61 victory over the Purple Aces on Jan. 21.
Throughout the season, head coach Porter Moser said he felt the team’s biggest weakness was bench production — he said they needed more depth.
After the victory, Porter said he was happy with the bench performance, which provided 33 of Loyola’s 67 points and 11 of the team’s 31 rebounds.
Junior forward Aundre Jackson led the way with 17 points and five rebounds while senior guard Milton Doyle followed with an additional 14 points.
