CHICAGO -- — Tate Hall had 13 points off the bench to lead Loyola of Chicago to an 88-46 win over Northern Iowa on Sunday, the Ramblers’ eighth consecutive home victory.
Braden Norris and Cameron Krutwig each had 11 points and four assists for Loyola of Chicago (10-3, 5-1 Missouri Valley Conference). Tom Welch had 10 points.
After scoring a season-low 24 points in the first half, Northern Iowa was dominated 49-22 in the second.
Noah Carter had 11 points for the Panthers (3-10, 2-6).
