Edge DePaul for the City Bragging Rights
(St. Louis, M) – Loyola Chicago continues to dominate teams in the State of Illinois. Saturday they defeated Big East Conference member DePaul and have swept all the Chicago area teams again this year to claim the title, Loyola Ramblers Chicago Champions.
68-64 was the final and all-league guard Lucas Williamson joined us during the team’s bus ride back to Rogers Park.
Williamson led the Ramblers with 15 points and shut down DePaul star Javon Freeman-Liberty to spark the LUC victory. JFL came into the game averaging over 20 points per game and finished with a season-low seven points.
Williamson has been a part of the 2018 Final Four appearance, 2021’s Sweet Sixteen team and two Missouri Valley Conference regular season titles. He says the game at Wintrust Arena felt like a big time college basketball event.
Here is our entire conversation.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
