BALTIMORE, Md. – Loyola's Jaylin Andrews (24) and Deon Perry (20) both hit the 20-point mark to offset a 21-point game from Xander Rice, and the Greyhounds pulled away late for an 80-66 Patriot League win on Saturday afternoon at Reitz Arena.
Jack Forrest tallied 13 points, six rebounds, and six assists for the Bison (8-15, 1-9 PL), who shot 42.4 percent and hit nine 3-pointers but could not overcome 20 turnovers. Alex Timmerman added 12 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, and Andre Screen also hit double figures with 10 points.
Andrews went 7-for-8 from the floor and 9-for-12 from the foul line, and he added seven rebounds and three steals. Perry, who had 22 in Loyola's win at Bucknell earlier in the month, had 20 more in this one with three assists and three steals. Frontcourt mates Alonso Faure (12) and Golden Dike (10) combined for another 22 points as the Greyhounds (8-15, 3-7 PL) shot 57.1 percent in the second half and 52.9 percent for the game.
Bucknell cut an early 12-point deficit to one late in the half and trailed 35-33 at the break. Forrest's transition 3-pointer on the first possession of the second stanza gave the Bison their first lead of the day, before five straight points from Faure put the Greyhounds right back in front to stay.
Bucknell's deficit was just one at 50-49 after a 3-pointer by rice and two free throws by Josh Adoh after his steal in the backcourt, but back-to-back treys by Perry and Chris Kuzemka gave the Greyhounds some breathing room.
A key juncture came just after the 7-minute mark with the Bison down by just five after a Screen tip-in. Andrews split a pair at the line, and then two straight Bucknell turnovers led to a breakaway dunk and a layup, giving Loyola a 63-53 lead with 6:24 to go.
Loyola jumped out to a 14-2 lead after six minutes of play, but Forrest got the Bison going with 10 quick points, including a couple of threes. Forrest's second triple followed by a Screen up-and-under layup capped a 12-2 Bison run and cut the deficit to 16-14.
Perry and Andrews followed with back-to-back threes, and then Perry hit his third trey of the half after an Adoh bucket to push Loyola's lead back up to nine at 25-16.
Rice scored 10 points in the final 7:12 of the half to keep the Bison in it, with his 3-pointer with 1:57 to go making it a one-point game.
Bucknell was 9-for-27 from the 3-point arc compared to Loyola's 7-for-14. The Greyhounds outscored the Bison 19-7 from the foul line, with seven of their makes coming in the final two minutes.
The Bison are back on the road again on Wednesday to face American at 7 p.m.
