A win against Southern Illinois University and a loss for Drake University has earned the No. 21 Loyola men’s basketball team (21-4, 15-2) the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Regular Season Championship.
The Ramblers took on Southern Illinois Feb. 27 in a game that went down to the wire — a tip in from senior center Cameron Krutwig sealed the 65-58 win against the Salukis. But it wasn’t until Drake fell to Bradley University 66-61 on the same day that Loyola knew it was the outright winner of the MVC regular season.
Despite leading for the majority of the game, Loyola was held to 18 points in the second half.
