• Loyola led 12-0 less than five minutes into the game, a lead that Sam Springer expanded to 13, 22-9, with a three at 10:28. Springer's three was the last field goal for the Greyhounds until he hit another with 4:20 to go in the first half.

• Loyola has shot .496 from the field after the break, compared with .416 in the first.
• On the defensive end, Loyola has limited opponents to 34.5 points after halftime, compared to 37.0 in the opening 20.

Theodosiou's Last Five

• Jacob Theodosiou put together the best pair of games, statistically, in a three-game stretch against Stonehill, Fairfield and Duquesne, averaging 23.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.3 steals, and his numbers have been robust over the last five. 
• The junior guard scored 21 on November 15 against Stonehill before posting 27 the next day versus host Fairfield. He was named Patriot League Player of the Week following those games before scoring 21 against Duquesne on November 19.
• The three games represent the first time in his career that he's scored 20 or more in three-straight games and the first time a Loyola player has done so since Deon Perry did in January 2024.
• Including a game with six points at then-No. 12/13 Kentucky and one with 20 against Washington College, Theodosiou has averaged 19.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals in Loyola's last five games.
• He has done his scoring in an efficient manner, shooting 55.9 percent from the field and 78.9 percent from the free-throw line. He made 10 field goals in both the Stonehill and Fairfield games. The last time a Loyola player had 10 or more field goals in consecutive games came in the 2020-21 season when current Memphis Grizzlies post Santi Aldama had games with 11 and 13 in consecutive outings.

Inside The Arc

• Jacob Theodosiou has shot 46.7 percent from the field this year and leads the Patriot League with 49 field goals made through eight games.

• The Greyhounds have two players ranked in the top 10 of the Patriot League in two-point field-goal percentage with Jonas Sirtautas leading the conference at 79.4-percent. Sirtautas has made 27 of 34 shots from inside the arc.

Emmett's Entrance

• Freshman post player Emmett Adair missed the first five games of Loyola's season with an illness, but he entered the lineup and made his Loyola debut early in the first half November 19 at Duquesne.
• The Australian, who played for his home country's senior national team over the summer in FIBA Asia Cup Qualifying, ended up playing almost 18 minutes against the Dukes, scoring 11 on 4 of 7 from the field and 3 of 5 from 3-point range. He then scored six to go with four rebounds, four assists and a block at No. 12 Kentucky, and he had 10 points and seven rebounds versus Washington College.

Trending Up

• Loyola started the year by shooting 40.8 percent in its first three games of the year, a number that has gone up over its last five. The Greyhounds are now shooting 45.6 percent overall after shooting 48.5 percent in the last five outings (including shooting 29.0 percent at then-No. 12/13 Kentucky).
• The Greyhounds' field-goal percentage last season went up to 43.6 percent from 41.7 percent in 2023-24.

Troy From Three

• Troy Cicero Jr. has seen the most extended playing time of his career after missing a large part of his first two seasons with injuries. Coming into this season, he had played just 117 minutes 22 games, but this year, he's averaged 12.8 minutes per game off the bench while becoming an impact player on offense.
• Cicero leads Loyola from 3-point range, going 18 of 33 (.545) in the first eight games. He made three from behind the arc versus both Penn State Abington and NJIT and then knocked down four against Washington College.. Prior to this year, he had made only four threes in his career on 15 attempts.
• Cicero is averaging 8.1 points per game over the year's first eight games, shooting an overage 53.5 percent from the field.

Field Goals In Bulk

• Jacob Theodosiou (10) and Braeden Speed (9) combined for 19 made field goals against Stonehill, marking the first time since the 2017-18 season that two Loyola players had nine or more in a game. The last time it occurred was on January 24, 2018, in a 91-88 win over Lehigh when Andre Walker scored 32 on 11 of 30 shooting, and Cam Gregory added 24 while making 9 of 15. 
• Speed and Theodosiou went 9 of 14 and 10 of 18, respectively, and shot a combined .594 against the Skyhawks.

Theodosiou's Thievery

• Jacob Theodosiou had a career-high five steals on November 15 against Stonehill, four which came in the second half and three on back-to-back-to-back possessions that led to his fast-break layups.
• He led the Patriot League in steals per game a year ago, averaging 1.7 with 54 total steals. This year, he has 20 swipes in eight games and leads the conference at 2.5 per game. He is 14th nationally in total steals.

Sirtautas' Swats

• Jonas Sirtautas blocked five NJIT shots on November 11, and he now has five games at Loyola with multiple blocks including knocking away four at Kentucky.
• His five blocks were the most by a Loyola player since Chancellor Barnard had five exactly nine years prior (November 11, 2016, at Duquesne). It is also the seventh time since 2010 that a Loyola player has blocked five or more shots in a game.
• Through eight games, he leads the Patriot League with 18 blocks, a total that ranks 16th in NCAA Division I.

Perimeter Defense

• The Greyhounds have yielded just 47 made 3-pointers in five games with opponents shooting .285 (47 of 165) from behind the arc.

Progress Made

• Loyola picked up its seventh win of the 2024-25 season in its 15th game, matching the Greyhounds' win total from the 2023-24 season (32 total games). Loyola then eclipsed the previous year's total in its 17th game this season. Through 31 games, the Greyhounds made a five-win improvement over 2023-24.
• In Josh Loeffler's first year as Loyola's head coach, the Greyhounds saw improvements in just about every statistical category from the season prior, notably: field-goal percentage (.436 from .417), scoring offense (69.2, 64.0) and scoring margin (-1.9, -7.9).

• In addition to the six countries represented, Loyola players hail from seven different states in the U.S.: Arizona (Braeden Speed), Connecticut (Peter Sposito), Illinois (Troy Cicero Jr.), Maryland (Tyson Commander, Jordan Stiemke), New Jersey (Everett Barnes), Ohio (Ben Menker, Sam Springer) and Virginia (Garrett Brennan, Goap Kodi).

Theodosiou Turned It Up

• Jacob Theodosiou finished Loyola's 11-game non-conference schedule with 128 points, an average of 11.6 per game, but his scoring average finished the year a point-and-a-half higher (13.1) thanks to averaging 13.6 per game in Patriot League contests.
• He shot 3-pointers at a better clip in conference games, .351 to 318, and his non-scoring numbers rose, too. Theodosiou averaged 4.8 rebounds per game in Patriot League games (3.1 non-conference), and he had a 1.24 assist-to-turnover ration in League games compared to a 0.73 mark out of conference.

At The Next Level
