Nova -5  o/u = 154.5
Michigan -5.5   o/u = 129.5

That Michigan Loyola o/u struck me as shockingly low but Loyola's 4 game total points have averaged 132 and Michigan's average is 129 - and that included a 171 total for the TAMU game.

I'd like to see the Loyola vs Nova championship but I'll take both favorites giving the points.  I think it's a classic Nova game where it's back and forth for 25-30 minutes then Nova flips the switch and its a 14 point lead and not enough time for KU to come back.

I'll start this off with Sister Jean starting to jump the shark.

That's smoking hot.

What if Tebow joins the G-League though?

Go, Catholics.  It is a big guard's game.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

I always cheer for Big East teams in the dance, but if it’s Nova vs Loyola in the final I would be good with either winning.

Agree.  She's in charge of a respected center of higher learning.  Leaders need to deal in facts.

I'd hate to be the one to break the news to her, though.

If It's Loyola v. Nova, Nova may win by 20.

She isn't in charge of anything.  She's the team chaplain.

Yes.  My mistake.

If It's Loyola v. Nova, Nova may win by 20.

Pretty sure that was the prediction for Duke over Butler in 2010.

If anyone was randomly watching CBS Sports Net 20 minuets ago, that was my son Bradley being interviewed by Seth Davis.

I've been waiting for the Sister Jean story to on on long enough only to see her fall from public grace.

My son is a man of few words. For some reason this video cuts off, so I didn’t hear his Loyola answer. I was standing four feet away and couldn’t hear a word either Seth or Bradley said (school bands were quite loud).

Boarding plane to SA.  Villanova dad hat (daughter cringing/proud) Loyola grad FF shirt.  Plane full of Michigan folks. From Chicago.  Maybe all the Loyola folks left yesterday?

Go Ramblers.  Go Cats.

Should be a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy the day.  I will be rooting for the same teams.

Glow just got a text from one of our friends who is on his way to the tourney.

His flight was overbooked.  His daughter got $1500 for a later flight, and he held out until they were offering $3000.  He's still going to make it to San Antonio in time to make the first game.
Have some patience, FFS.
