A second mid-Atlantic men’s basketball program is in the crosshairs of a gambling investigation. The Maryland Lottery & Gaming Control Agency confirms to Sports Illustrated on Friday that the Loyola (Md.) Greyhounds are subjects of an inquiry into unusual wagering activity.
“We are aware of the investigation, and based on the scope of this investigation the Agency’s role is limited to providing licensee contact information,” agency spokesman Seth Elkin writes in an email to SI.
Loyola’s season ended Tuesday with a loss to the Navy Midshipmen in the Patriot League tournament. The Greyhounds finished the season 7–25, recording their worst winning percentage since going 1–27 in 2004. On Friday, the school announced that sixth-year head coach Tavaras Hardy is stepping down.
