A sold-out crowd witnessed the Loyola men’s basketball team lose its first game of the season against Furman University Nov. 9 at Gentile Arena. The Ramblers’ first sellout comes after Loyola’s Athletics Department altered their rules for student attendance.
The roughly 1,000-seat student section filled up more than an hour before tip-off against University of Missouri-Kansas City Nov. 6. After reaching capacity in the section, students were denied free entry into the game. Senior Jackie Sowa was among the students who were turned away.
“I texted some of my friends who were working at the game and asked if the student section was full,” Sowa said.
