WOW almost. Jonah Jackson rimmed out a wide open 3, Loyola actually made 2 straight FT's to put away the game 64-60. Loyola led 48-35 with 10:46 left and Drake gradually got closer but just never got over the hump. Garrett Sturts led Drake with 17 while Cameron Krutwig led Loyola with 17. Drake shot 22-46, 7-14 from 3, and had 21 turnovers while Loyola shot 22-47, 1-6 from 3 and shot 19 more FT's than Drake as they were 19-31 while Drake was 9-12. Their bad FT shooting will be Loyola's undoing.Comment

Valparaiso head coach Matt Lottich said in the post-game press conference that Javon Freeman-Liberty was diagnosed with mononucleosis.
He sat out tonight's game, but was in street clothes and sitting on the bench.
Lottich also said, "We’re going to be reevaluated. I think it might sound worse than it is. I actually think he’s been playing with it for a couple weeks. So it might be further along in the process.... But we’re not going to put Javon in any situation where he’s not 100 percent safe.”
Mononucleosis can take 3-6 weeks to recover fully and get back to 100%, and in a few cases even longer. It will be interesting to see if he returns for the tournament.Comment

Valpo scored the 1st 8 points of the 2nd half and 15 of the 1st 18 2nd half points to lead 56-42 with 14:42 left. Then MSU went on a 9-0 run in the next 2 1/2 minutes to trail by 5 but that would be as close as the Bears would get as Valpo outscored the Bears 30-20 for the rest of the game. Gaige Prim led MSU with 17 points and 10 boards while Donovan Clay had 22 points and Ryan Fazekas added 20. John Kiser also had 8 assists for Valpo who were 17-28, 61%, from the field, 7-10 from 3. Valpo can assure themselves to stay out of the play in game for the first time if they beat ISU Blue in Terre Haute. MSU needs to beat SIU at home and they will also need some help to avoid the play in game.Comment
