Loyola falls to Duquesne; food delivery person interrupts game
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Dae Dae Grant and Jimmy Clark III scored 13 points each as Duquesne beat Loyola 72-58 on Wednesday night in a game that was briefly interrupted when a delivery person carrying a bag of food from McDonald's walked onto the court.
The interruption came when the delivery person came onto the floor early in the second half before being waved off by a referee. Eventually, the food found its customer.
The best story in college basketball tonight.

An Uber Eats driver walked across the floor, nearly walking into a player, to deliver some McDonald's during tonight's Duquesne-Loyola game.
