The Loyola men’s basketball team (1-0) steamrolled the University of California, Davis 82-48 Tuesday night as its season opened in Gentile Arena behind a dominant performance from junior center Cameron Krutwig.
Voted Missouri Valley Conference Preseason Player of the Year, Krutwig led the Ramblers offensively, earning himself a double-double with 15 points and eight rebounds. He also tallied 11 assists — the most in a game by a Loyola player since Denzel Brito in 2011.
The Ramblers shot 35-for-63 from the field, but struggled at the three-point line, shooting 4-for-16. Four players scored double-digit points tonight led by Krutwig with 15 points.
