CHICAGO -- Marques Townes scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half to help Loyola-Chicago rally for a 66-59 victory over Evansville in Missouri Valley Conference play on Saturday.
Townes hit 6 of 9 from the floor, including all three of his 3-pointers, and added five rebounds, three assists, two steals and a blocked shot. Aundre Jackson came off the bench to score 18 for the Ramblers (11-3, 1-1), who ended a two-game skid and avoided a third straight 0-2 start in conference play.
