Scouting: Loyola @ Texas-Pan American

Loyola at Texas-Pan American

When 7 p.m. at UTPA Fieldhouse

Radio: WAUR 930-AM, WNTD 950-AM, WWCA 1270-AM

The skinny: It has been a whole 38 days since the Ramblers knocked off the Broncs 79-57 at Gentile Center. UTPA has gone 0-8 against Division I opponents since that game, so Loyola ought to be able to improve its 1-4 December record. The Ramblers' 3-point shooting has cooled (now at 37.9 percent), but their 2-point shooting is the problem. They're hitting just 45 percent there, which suggests they're not getting enough shots close to the hoop. Maybe that will change as top post threat Walt Gibler's sprained ankle heals.
