The Ramblers then carried that momentum into the second half as after Wright State drew to within one at 36-35 on a Drew Burleson three and a Pleiman layup, Loyola followed with a 24-5 burst over the next nine minutes, 11 from Blake Schilb, to blow the game open.
Loyola outshot Wright State 50-43 percent, had a 37-26 rebounding advantage and hit 24 of 30 from the foul line to just seven of 13 for the Raiders. The Rambler reserves outscored the WSU bench 25-13.
DaShaun Wood led the Raiders with 18 points and six assists while Pleiman had 12 points and Burleson 11.
Schilb paced all scorers with a double-double effort of 24 points and 12 rebounds for Loyola (16-10, 7-8 Horizon) and added six assists while Majak Kou had 12 points and Leon Young 10 off the bench.
Wright State, now 13-13 overall and 8-7 in the Horizon League, wraps up the regular season Saturday at UIC for a 4:00 Eastern tip. That game will determine if the Raiders will be the third or fourth seed in next week's Horizon League Tournament.
