Fresh off winning the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Player of the Year and leading Loyola to a Final Four berth, expectations for Clayton Custer were high coming into the year. He hasn’t quite reached those expectations, especially in conference play, despite Loyola (16-9, 9-3) sitting in first place in the MVC.
The redshirt senior guard has had an up-and-down year but has managed to be Loyola’s third highest scorer this season, averaging 12 points per game. Custer is also second on the team in assists, dishing out 2.6 per game.
