Ramblers wrecked: Nevada pummels Loyola in NCAA Tournament rematch

It won’t change the result of last season’s NCAA Tournament heartbreaker, but the Nevada basketball team got a measure of satisfaction against Loyola Chicago on Tuesday night.

Caleb Martin had 21 points, brother Cody Martin scored 20 and No. 5 Nevada beat Loyola Chicago, 79-65, in an NCAA Tournament rematch.

Loyola beat Nevada by one point in the NCAA South Regional semifinals last season — the only other meeting between the programs. That win was part of a Final Four run for the Ramblers that captured the nation's attention.

Tuesday's win came in the Wolf Pack's first true road game of the season.
