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.
Do Good

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
