Hello, Ramblers! New episode is out discussing the defense against GMU and Joe’s. We are also joined by Lil Bona X and @TheBluffBlog to break down Loyola’s matchups against Bona and Duquesne. Let us know what you think! #OnwardLU #A10MBB #GoRamblers

Apologies for something I said during this Spaces that was incorrect. Loyola had just won 2 in a row and I said they had not yet won back to back games since JMo went down

RT @MLBergman_: Updated @A10MBB Bracket: 9 SBU ] 8 DUQ ] 1 GMU ] 12 DAV ] 13 URI…

Loyola drops from 4th to 6th based on current tiebreakers

This is a great way to cheer me up out of that Spaces!

@mattchidcnyc His job is nowhere near in jeopardy

Game notes: -Dukes got 32 pts in the paint, 18 pts of TOs, and forced 15 Rambler TOs. You cannot win on the road like that -you cannot expect to legitimately contend for a double bye if you can’t string together wins. Major setback after the Bona win -recover for the Spiders

At least we’re just chucking 3s to end the game

U4: Ramblers trailing by 6 after a Dixon 3. There 3:08 left to play. You absolutely need to find a way to pull this one out. Only 2 possession game so there’s plenty of time. Gotta slow it down, run some effective sets, and play the same defense you did to start the half

And now the Dukes are shooting FTs the rest of the way with that Dawson foul

Rozier picks up his 4th foul

SH333LDON

The next Duquesne foul sends Loyola to the line the rest of the way. Time to get aggressive driving to the hoop

U8: Ramblers trail by 2 after going through a rough mental mistake string to go down 5. Des hit a 3 to cut it to 2 then the defense gets a dead ball stop. Absolutely need to run more efficient offensive sets. 3 ball has been ok today, but you still need to work the ball inside

D33S

Not gonna be able to win this game when we concede these Duquesne runs with sloppy turnovers and poor shot selection. Good timeout to calm the guys down, but need to get the team going again on both ends

How is that not a jump ball? Dawson got the tie up when Crawford went up for the shot

U12: Ramblers now lead by 1 thanks to their defense preventing a Duquesne point for the first 7 mins of the 2nd half. Duquesne has since taken the lid off the bucket and is going to the line with a chance to take the lead. Ramblers need to keep working the ball inside on offense

D3S

U16: Ramblers have opened up with a 6-0 run as Loyola now only trails by 1 on the road. Defense has now allowed Duquesne to score yet, but the Ramblers have 3 more turnovers this half and some ill-advised transition 3s. Absolutely need to KEEP GOING INSIDE and get to the rim
