Loyola

[Floorslapper]

If you look at KenPom, their experience is 145 out of 351.  Probably has more to do with the multiple other factors that drive b-ball wins.

Experience certainly helpful.  Yet Avery Johnson had his Alabama team ranked 348 of 351 in experience in the Round of 32.  Personally, I don't feel we were that* young/inexperienced this year...at least not our starting 5.

Forget SLU, I'll settle for LU! Exciting with Chicagoland kids driving this and for Porter.

Dr.

I agree 1000%. Very excited and happy for the Ramblers. Again, I hope Rick is eating all the ribs in heaven.

I think they'll have a solid shot at another win in the next game regardless of which team it is. Cinci and Nevada are beatable teams. Don't know which would be better for Loyola from a matchup standpoint, one would guess Nevada.

Definitely rooting for them

In this era, this Loyola run is everything that's right with college basketball

Likely will be Cincy.  Cincy really strong defensively, but so was TN.  Loyola stands a chance.

Loyola's offensive scheme reminds me of buzz's midget team.  Constant driving and dishing and making the next pass until there is an open 3 or a lay up.  I see some majerus in their defense.

Interesting. Think we should be rooting for the wolves then?

100% Rick D and they move the ball much better than Buzz teams.

I'm thinking of the midget team, specifically.

The Kettle Wolves.

Happy to see. Loyola advance - went to 7 undergrad there, grad  to MU.  Qswett 16 is awesome for them!

Very well coached team!!

Experience everywhere, which is why it is easier to coach.  Watch how well coached our team is suddenly when they are juniors and seniors.

[LAZER]

Guess that Custer kid will stick around, making himself into a Loyola legend.

I think Moser sticks around too, not really an opening that make sense for him.  I think Loyola will do their best to scrounge up some money for him, great exposure for the school.

[cheese ball chaser]

They move the ball so well

Yea.  Just like we were last year with all of 4/5 year players:  JJJ, Duane, Luke, Katin, Rowsey.

Gotta admit, your relentlessness - your absolute primitive need to be right about everything, no matter how many times you have to beat a dead horse to submission - is incredible.

Too bad it will end soon when you're banned again.

Chicago NCAA Tournament wins last 28 years

Loyola 1 2
Northwestern 1
DePaul 1


Imagine if someone told you that in the 70's or 80's as a prediction.

Updated. Seriously, the BE must have the cash to work out a DePaul for Loyola trade. Time for Val to step up her game!

EXACTLY! Glad you finally get it. When we had experienced players we made the NCAA tournament. Even though as freshmen JJJ was at the back of the bench for a team that missed the NIT, Duane was a starter for the worst the worst team in modern Marquette history, and Luke couldn't get any minutes at Indiana, they got older, developed (despite Wojo's demotivation), and once they added experienced transfers in Katin and Rowdy, became a unit capable of making the dance. Duane was the only one who didn't develop but that was because of his legs repeatedly self destructing beneath him.

So if JJJ can develop from a guy who averaged 13.5 mpg, 4.3 ppg, 1.1 rpg, 1.0 apg, 0.4 spg, 0.1 bpg, .443 FG%, .290 3P% for a team that didn't even make the freakin NIT, into a guy who was a key starter for a NCAA at large team, imagine what guys like Greg Elliott, Jamal Cain, and Theo John, who are putting up better numbers for a team that did make the freakin NIT could develop into. Future is bright!

Information.  You can be sure it will wash over Ners like all facts do.

I'd trade DePaul for a bag of bats.  Loyola would be gravy

Well, this guy is going straight to Hell...



Did I mention this guy works for FoxSports?
