Marist sputters at Loyola

Marist failed to get back on track on Sunday by virtue of losing a road contest against MAAC foe Loyola.
Loyola had five players score in double-digits, including Jamal Barney's game-high 22 points in the 83-73 win over Marist. Barney currently leads the MAAC in scoring with 18.4 ppg.
Marist trailed for the better part of the game but knotted the game at 57 with 10:30 left in the game. Loyola responded with an 11-2 run that was sparked by senior guard Marquis Sullivan. Sullivan scored 17 points and shot 5-of-10 on three-point field-goals.
With the Memphis game notwithstanding, Marist yielded the most points in regulation of any game this season to Loyola. Despite shooting a better percentage from the field, Marist surrendered 15 offensive rebounds and turned the ball over 13 times. Loyola took better care of the ball and shot a whopping 91.3 percent from the free-throw line. The Greyhounds made 21 of their 23 free-throws.
Even though Marist struggled on the defensive end, the Foxes had four players score in double-figures. Ryan Schneider and Lawrence Williams paced Marist with 15 points apiece while David Devezin and R.J. Hall each tallied 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting.
With the loss, Marist drops to 3-5 in the MAAC while Loyola jumps to 3-5. Both teams entered the game with 7-12 overall records. Marist returns home looking to rebounds from back-to-back MAAC losses on Friday against Canisius. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
