COLLEGE
Bailey played college basketball at Loyola (Illinois) during the 1999–2000 season and competed with the Ramblers from 1999 to 2003 in the Horizon League under head coach Larry Farmer.
Bailey was recruited to Loyola after Larry Farmer was advised to recruit him by his former head coach John Wooden, and he chose the Ramblers over scholarship interest from Rhode Island, Northern Illinois and Southwestern Louisiana.
As a freshman in 1999–2000, Bailey appeared in Horizon League competition as Loyola competed against conference opponents including Detroit Mercy, Butler, Wisconsin-Green Bay and UIC, establishing himself in the Ramblers’ backcourt rotation.
During his sophomore and junior seasons, Bailey developed into one of the Horizon League’s leading guards, earning All-Horizon League recognition and ranking among the conference leaders in scoring and assists while logging significant minutes in league play.
Across his Loyola career, Bailey became a three-time All-Horizon League selection, including two first-team honors, and he captured both a Horizon League scoring title and a Horizon League assists title during his tenure with the Ramblers.
He was also selected to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team and played in multiple Horizon League Men’s Basketball Tournament contests, including championship-game appearances during his time in the program.
In his senior season in 2002–03, Bailey finished among the Horizon League’s top scorers while also ranking among the league leaders in assists, concluding his Loyola career as one of the conference’s most statistically productive guards of the early 2000s.
Bailey is the older brother of Martell Bailey, a crosstown Horizon League foe and former George Westinghouse College Prep teammate, and the brothers’ tenure in the league overlapped for two seasons, including one in which they were both All-League honorees.
The Bailey brothers faced each other head-to-head several times in Horizon League competition, including a Horizon League Men’s Basketball Tournament championship game in which both were key performers for their respective programs.
