SAVANNAH, Ga. (November 25, 2017)
Â
In Short
Donte Ingram scored 18 points, 13 of which came in the second half, and grabbed 11 rebounds, to lead Loyola University Chicago (7-0) to a 75-60 victory over Kent State (3-3) this afternoon at the Savannah Civic Center in a contest as part of the Savannah Invitational. The Ramblers shot a sizzling 60 percent (15-for-25) from the field and three-point-range (6-for-10) in the second half alone.
Â
How It Happened
Kent State built a seven-point lead (23-16) in the first half, but after a cold start, Loyola began to heat up and consecutive three-pointers from
Clayton Custer and
Lucas Williamson were part of a 7-0 spurt that knotted the score at 23.
Â
The Golden Flashes answered right back with five unanswered points of their own to reclaim the lead before the Ramblers closed out the period with an 8-2 run that included back-to-back treys from Custer and
Marques Townes, as well as a buzzer-beating jumper by Williamson that sent Loyola into the break on top, 31-30.
Â
Loyola used a 9-1 run early in the second half to snap a 33-all tie and grab a 42-33 advantage, with Jackson scoring seven of his team's nine points in that stretch. Kent State tallied the next six points to get within three (42-39), but the Ramblers countered with a 9-2 run of their own that featured four points from
Bruno Skokna, to seize a 51-41 lead.
Â
The Ramblers would lead by as many as 18 points in the second half on a conventional three-point play from Townes that made it 71-53, and they would roll to their seventh straight victory.
Â
