Loyola junior Cameron Krutwig is the men’s basketball team’s “unicorn” — a big man who can score and pass.
Loyola’s offense seems to run through the 6-foot-9 center even though he plays down low. Because of this, teams have to get creative to defend him. If he’s double-teamed, he can kick it out to an open teammate who might have a better look.
But if teams play him one-on-one, like Missouri State University did Jan. 4, he could torch them on his own.
“If you guard him one-on-one, you put yourself at a risk for him to score [or] getting fouled,” said Missouri State head coach Dana Ford.
