Andrew Hollerich scored a game-high 17 points for Loyola, which is 10-1 in the last 11 Jesuit Cup meetings. Miles Boland added 10 points and five rebounds.
Loyola fell into a big hole early, struggled from the three-point line and is still getting two-sport athletes from the state championship football team acclimated to basketball.
None of that mattered on Friday night, when the No. 25 Ramblers clawed their way back from 12 points down in the third quarter to beat St. Ignatius 40-37 in the Jesuit Cup game at Gentile Arena.
Andrew Hollerich scored a game-high 17 points for Loyola (7-2, 1-1 Catholic Blue), which is 10-1 in the last 11 Jesuit Cup meetings. Miles Boland added 10 points and five rebounds.
“This is the biggest game for us in the regular season,” Hollerich said. “This is the game we always look forward to and we prepare the most to play this game.”
Despite that, the Ramblers were down 11-0 to start the game, committing four turnovers before they scored a point.
