When: 7 p.m. Saturday at the Gentile Center

TV: Available at www.horizonleague.org Radio: WYLL 1160-AM

The skinny: Loyola's sputtering offense has a chance to get well against the Horizon League's worst defensive team (79 ppg). The Ramblers are immersed in their longest home losing streak under coach Jim Whitesell and could tumble back in the league standings with a loss. Perimeter shooting has plagued Loyola, which must attack the rim more after attempting only 12 free throws Thursday against a Green Bay team that was in foul trouble all night. The Ramblers front line faces a big test in Panthers forward Torre Johnson, who scored 30 points Thursday against UIC. Loyola has won its last two games against Milwaukee.
