MONROE, La. (AP) — Devon Turk had 14 points and Loyola of Chicago rallied to win the College Basketball Invitational title, 63-62 over Louisiana-Monroe on Wednesday night.

Loyola was down four points with five minutes left, when Turk buried a 3-pointer from the wing to make a one-point game.

Milton Doyle then hit a jumper and Jeff White’s steal led to two Doyle free throws to give the Ramblers a 61-58 lead with about 3 minutes left.

With 3 seconds left and Loyola up 63-60, Louisiana-Monroe’s Jamaal Samuels missed the first foul shot of a one-and-one and his teammates grabbed the board to cut the lead to one. But the Warhawks ran out of time.
