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.
