GENTILE GIANTS 4Under head coach Porter Moser, Loyola is 30-5 (.857) at Gentile Arena against nonconference foes, including postseason play. Since the start of the campaign, Loyola is 18-3 (.857) at home versus non-league foes. 4The Ramblers have not lost a home game in November under Moser, going 14-0 in five-plus seasons. In fact, Loyola has not dropped a November game at Gentile Arena since November 14, 2008, when they lost the season opener to Rockhurst, 86-79, despite 42 points from J.R. Blount. Loyola has prevailed in its last 23 games played in November at Gentile Arena. DYNAMITE DOYLE 4Milton Doyle s 21 points against Alcorn State Friday night are the most by a Rambler in a season opener since Jeff White poured in 23 versus Milwaukee on November 8, The 6-foot-4 guard was a Preseason Second Team All-MVC selection after averaging 11.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists a year ago. 4Doyle has converted each of his last 14 attempts from the free throw line and dating back to last season has drained 21 of his last 24 attempts (.875) from the charity stripe. 4Loyola is 6-1 the last seven times Doyle has scored 20 or more points. FRESH FACES 4Only seven of the 17 players on the Ramblers roster had ever played at least one minute of NCAA Division I basketball entering the season. 4Loyola s roster features 12 new faces, including guard Clayton Custer, who sat out last season after transferring from Iowa State University. SPAIN = GAIN 4In August, the Ramblers took a 10-day trip to Spain, during which they played four games and went a perfect 4-0. The trip allowed a young team to build chemistry both on and off the court, while letting the newcomers get acclimated to practice and game situations. 4Doyle led all Ramblers with a 17.8 ppg average on the trip and the do-everything guard also pitched in 4.5 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.0 spg and 1.8 bpg. He wasn t the only Loyola player to average at least 10.0 ppg, as Richardson put up 13.0 ppg and Custer added 10.5 ppg. 4Junior college transfer Aundre Jackson may have had the most impressive individual performance of the trip when he collected 15 points and 15 rebounds in a victory over Eurocolegio Casvi. 4The last time Loyola took a foreign tour, prior to the season, it opened the year with a 10-3 record. DONTE S EN FUEGO 4Donte Ingram has scored in double figures in four of his last six appearances dating back to the campaign and against Eureka on November 14 pitched in 13 pointsand five rebounds in only 18 minutes of action. 4Dating back to last season, the Chicago native is averaging 10.5 ppg and 3.3 rpg in his last six games. 4In his last seven games versus non-mvc foes, he is shooting 59.5 percent (25-for- 42) from the field and averaging 9.6 ppg and 5.4 rpg. 4Ingram has been nearly automatic from the foul line in his last six outings dating back to last year. The 6-foot-6 swingman has drained 15 of his last 17 tosses (.882) from the charity stripe.

3 PORTER MOSER - head coach Overall Record: At Loyola: In his 13th season as a head coach and sixth at Loyola University Chicago, Porter Moser is known as a tireles recruiter, master game tactician and true teacher of the game. A graduate of Benet Academy, Moser is a native of Naperville, Ill., and came to Loyola following a stint as the associate head coach at Saint Louis University under the late Rick Majerus. Moser and the Ramblers too a giant step forward in , winning 24 games - the third-highest single-season total in program history - and capturing the CBI championship in Loyola s first postseason appearance in 30 years. The Ramblers also saw their final RPI improve 205 spots from the season, the thirdbiggest improvement in Division I and their 24 wins were the most by a Chicagoland school since Named one of the top 50 assistant coaches in the nation by Basketball Times in 2009, Moser helped Saint Louis to a overall record during his four years on staff and his recruiting efforts helped land several of the Billikens players that guided the program to back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths. No stranger to the Missouri Valley Conference, Moser was the head coach at Illinois State from and graduated from Creighton, which was a member of the MVC at the time. Prior to his stint at Illinois State, Moser compiled a record in three seasons as head coach at Arkansas-Little Rock. Taking over the Trojans program at only 31 years of age, Moser turned a 4-24 team into an squad in one season, the greatest turnaround in Sun Belt Conference history.
