Loyola

[warriorjoe]

The only question remaining about this Elite Eight game is whether Candace Parker will be wearing a Loyola jersey in studio today. She promised to wear one during the Sweet 16 games, but it did not happen.

Go Warriors!

[Dr. Blackheart]

Charles Barkley offered to take Sister Jean to dinner at F4 if LU makes it.

He shouldn't have been let go.

The biggest criticism of Weber was that the success he had at the beginning of his tenure was due to the players that Self recruited before leaving for Kansas.  In his last five years, Illinois missed the tournament three times.  He didn't advance to the Sweet 16 since taking the team to the NCAA Championship many years prior. 

While I do think he is a good coach, and am happy for his success at K-State, it was absolutely time for him to move on when he was let go from Illinois.  The fans, alumni and boosters expected more and recruiting was going downwards.  Having said that, and looking at where Illinois has been since, the hiring of Groce was detrimental and devastating to that program.  Their former AD had some really bad hires (Beckman in football was another).

Underwood is viewed favorably by Chicago area high schools, especially CPS schools - which is incredibly important.  In due time, they will be back.

I'd be OK with Bruce Weber getting back to the Final Four after he was screwed over by Illinois. Seems like a good guy and a decent coach.

He hankered after the MU job a while back, no?

He was already at KSU when Buzz left.  Did he want it then?

Yup, most of us were wrong in dissing MVC taking Loyola.

[Dr. Blackheart]

LU looks like such a Rick coached team.  All the nuanced play. I am really enjoying this run.

[rocket surgeon]

porter moser is a naperville and benet academy stud-same school as frankie k!

Awfully impressive.

[nyg]

Call me impressed, I thought KSU would win easily.  Long way to go, but this is like George Mason thing going on.

Very impressed with that Krutwig kid, big guy has great hands, passes well, etc.  three star recruit and good get by Loyola.

Yes, Krutwig is a real anchor for this team.

Kstate sucks they were never winning this easy

[Galway Eagle]

I think they're really going to come crashing down in the final four.

[nyg]

They made Elite 8, so they really don't suck.  Just out played so far tonight.

Their leading scorer is hurt and not playing.

[PGsHeroes32]

They went 0-7 against the top 3 of the big 12

Kstate is not a good team.

They also beat a 16 seed to get here.

Tourney is crazy, things happen. On paper this Kstate team is not very talented

Paper, whatever.  Beat Creighton and Kentucky also. They made Elite 8, so they don't suck.  Each is own.

Now, does Loyola blow 23 point lead with nine minutes to go.  That would be ugly. 

[nyg]

That should do it.  Great effort. Let's hope Nova wins, would be a fun matchup. 

[Galway Eagle]

Done rooting for them. If Loyola were to somehow win the championship and have two titles with 6 tournament appearances it pretty sure my head would explode

No they suck.

It's a bad team. For the record Creighton isn't any good either

[drewm88]

So it's not just Marquette you crap on. Got it.

Maybe they'll be like the Cubs in 2016.

C'mon BPB, I know you are going to root for the Ramblers.  You cannot possibly not root for this team.
