After a 70-35 loss midweek to Missouri State University, the Loyola men’s basketball team cruised to a 75-50 victory in a bounce back win over Southern Illinois University Sunday afternoon at Gentile Arena.
The Ramblers were led by sophomore center Cameron Krutwig who recorded a career high 22 points and 6 rebounds as the big man recovered from a poor performance against MSU in which he failed to snag a single rebound. Redshirt senior Marques Townes also paced Loyola with 14 points, four assists and grabbed five rebounds in the dominant win.
Continuing a season-long trend of slow starts, the Ramblers found themselves trailing 12-7 at the second media timeout with 11:33 remaining in the half.
