CHICAGO (AP) – Montel James scored 17 points, and his reverse layup with just more than a minute left gave Loyola of Chicago the lead for good in a 68-63 win over Drake Saturday. Trailing 66-63, Billy Wampler and Reed Timmer both missed 3-point attempts with nine seconds to play. Officials awarded the ball to the Ramblers after determining the ball went off a Drake player attempting to recover Timmer’s miss.

Milton Doyle’s free throws with 7.9 seconds left clinched it for Loyola of Chicago (9-11, 2-6 Missouri Valley). James tied the score at 60 making one of two free throws before his layup gave the Ramblers the lead. James hit two more free throws, then Drake (5-15, 0-8) got a three from Kyle Abrahamson with 29 second left to cut the lead to 64-63.

Graham Woodard, and Abrahamson combined to hit three-straight 3s to give Drake a 60-59 lead with 2:51 left. Ore Arogundade led Drake with 12 points.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Khadijiah Cave scored 18 points with 13 rebounds and fourth-ranked Baylor cruised past Iowa State 77-61 Saturday for its sixth straight win. Nina Davis and Kristy Wallace each had 14 for the Lady Bears (19-1, 6-1 Big 12), which shot 50 percent and outrebounded the undersized Cyclones 40-25.

Baylor went on a 25-9 run midway through the second half, turning a tight game into a rout. Seanna Johnson scored 22 points for Iowa State (11-7, 3-4), which has lost four of five after an encouraging start to league play.
