Loyola Marymount to Face Austin Peay

Loyola Marymount, still seeking its first victory this month, as well as its first against a Division I opponent, will play Austin Peay tonight in the second game of the inaugural Old Style tournament in suburban Chicago.

Loyola, 1-3 despite its average of nearly 113 points a game, has three players averaging more than 20 points a game--forward Hank Gathers at 32 (plus 14.8 rebounds) and guards Jeff Fryer and Enoch Simmons at 20.5 apiece. But the Lions have had limited production from young reserves.

Austin Peay, of Clarksville, Tenn., has a 6-3 record, is scoring 89 points a game and has six players averaging double figures, led by guard Keith Rawls’ 18.

In tonight’s other opening-round game, host DePaul (5-4) will play North Carolina A & T (2-4). Winners and losers will meet Friday night. All games are at the Rosemont Horizon.
