Skinny: The Cougars' only win came over Div. III MacMurray, so this doesn't figure to be the Ramblers' toughest test of the year. However, Loyola must take care not to settle for 3-pointers. SIU-E allows opponents to shoot 51 percent on 2-pointers, so the Ramblers need to pound the ball to Walt Gibler, Ben Averkamp and Andy Polka. This is a homecoming for 2008 Stevenson HS graduate Kevin Stineman, who has started the last four games. The Buffalo Grove resident averages 2.8 points and 2.3 assists in 21 minutes per game.
