CHICAGO — Cameron Krutwig scored 17 points, grabbed seven rebounds and made three assists and Loyola held off Drake 64-60 on Tuesday night for its ninth straight home win.

Tate Hall and Marquise Kennedy scored 11 points apiece for the Ramblers (20-10, 12-5 Missouri Valley Conference), who made 19 of 31 free throws.

Liam Robbins scored 13 points with 10 rebounds and four blocks and Garrett Sturtz added 17 points with eight rebounds for Drake (18-12, 8-9). Roman Penn had six assists.

“I thought our guys really competed and executed the game plan defensively,” said Drake head coach Darian DeVries. “We crawled back in and gave ourselves our chance. We got the look we wanted, but unfortunately, we just missed. But I’m proud of the guys and proud of the fight.”

The Ramblers evened the season series against the Bulldogs with the win. Drake defeated Loyola 65-62 on Jan. 7, but couldn’t get the sweep after committing 21 turnovers that Loyola translated into 22 points.

“We shot it well enough when we had shots, we ran good offense, we just can’t turn it over that much,” DeVries said. “To be that close and turn it over that many times makes it frustrating.”

Drake finishes out the regular season against Northern Iowa at home on Saturday.
