Editor: The following is part of press release from loyolaramblers.com.
(Chicago, IL) – Loyola University Chicago sophomore guard Lucas Williamson had successful surgery on his right hand this week and will be sidelined for 3-to-4 weeks, head coach Porter Moser announced today. The 6-foot-4 defensive stopper is averaging 8.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season.
Williamson initially broke the hand during the Ramblers’ game versus Nevada November 27, then was sidelined for eight games before returning to action January 8 at Evansville. He played in four contests, averaging 12.5 ppg, 7.5 rpg and 2.5 spg in his last two appearances, before reinjuring the hand in Loyola’s 75-67 victory at Indiana State January 19, a game in which he totaled 14 points, eight rebounds and three steals.
Loyola (13-8, 6-2 MVC), which holds sole possession of first place in the Missouri Valley Conference race, is back in action tonight when it hosts UNI at 6 p.m.

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
