The Loyola men’s basketball team (23-5, 13-3) clinched at least a share of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season title with a 76-66 win over the University of Evansville Feb. 18. Since joining the conference in 2013, this is the first time Loyola has won the MVC and this is Loyola’s first conference title since winning the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1987.
The Ramblers currently hold a two-game lead over Southern Illinois University (SIU) with two games left in the regular season. Loyola can win the MVC outright with a victory over the Salukis Feb. 21 in Carbondale.
