Despite shooting just 41.7% from the field, Loyola Maryland’s efficiency at the free-throw line and a 20-8 advantage in points from foul shots proved decisive. Bucknell outscored Loyola Maryland 39-36 in the second half but could not overcome the early deficit. The Bison dominated inside with 32 paint points to the Greyhounds’ 16.
