Horizon roundup \ Friday’s games
UW-Milwaukee 75, Loyola Marymount 51
AMES, Iowa — Tone Boyle hit four of his team’s 14 3-pointers and scored 20 points to lead Wisconsin-Milwaukee, spoiling Bill Bayno’s return to college coaching. Tony Meier and Deion James scored 14 points each for the Panthers in the season-opening World Vision Classic at Iowa State. They also hit four 3s apiece. The new 3-point arc, a foot farther out than last season, didn’t seem to bother UW-Milwaukee, which finished 14-for-33 from long range. Vernon Teel led Loyola Marymount with 18 points. Bayno, a former Portland Trailblazers’ assistant, is trying to resurrect his college coaching career and rebuild a LMU team that went 5-26 last season. He was fired as UNLV’s coach in December of 2000 after allegations that he broke NCAA rules, then was cleared of wrongdoing, sued the school and received a settlement.
Rockhurst 86, Loyola of Chicago 79
CHICAGO — Aaron Hill had 25 points and Alden Smith added 21 points as Division II Rockhurst used outside shooting for an upset. Rockhurst hit 14-of-29 3-pointers while Loyola was only 2-of-14 from behind the arc. The Hawks also hit 78 percent from the free-throw line. Loyola leaned on guard J.R. Blount, who had a career-high 42 points for the Ramblers. Blount was 12-of-22 from the field and 17-of-20 in free throws. Darrin Willias and Andy Polka added 10 points apiece for Loyola. The lead changed three times and the score was tied six times. Rockhurst earned 28 points off its bench. The Hawks allowed 15 turnovers, allowing the Ramblers to score 21 points. Starting guard Justin Cerasoli fouled out for Loyola with six points and four rebounds.
