This is the Duhawk’s third conference tournament title program in program history.
The Loras Duhawks earned the conference’s automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament that begins next weekend. The 64-team field will be announced Monday, February 26th at 12:00 p.m. (CST) on NCAA.com
The Loras Duhawks were led offensively by Ali Sabet (6'2''-G) who scored 24 points. Jack Haynes (6'7''-F) finished with 21 points and Jackson Molstead (5'11''-PG) had 19 points. Declan Ciurlik (6'3''-G) nearly had a double-double as he recorded 11 assists and nine rebounds. He finished the night with seven points.
