Nick Knacks: Richardson and Ingram Leave Mark on Men’s Basketball Program
Ben Richardson and Donte Ingram won 82 games over four seasons at Loyola.Fresh off its first season in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) in the 2013-14 season, the Loyola men’s basketball team welcomed Chicago-native Donte Ingram and Overland Park, Kansas-native Ben Richardson to the program. The Ramblers had just finished 4-14 in MVC play and the first-year duo was looking to jumpstart a program that had just three winning seasons in 30 years prior to joining the MVC.
The 2014-15 team won the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) and ended with a 24-13 overall record. But, for Ingram and Richardson, it was just the beginning of two program-altering careers.
