Best outcome is Loyola beats SCUM by 90 but I fear the reversal is far more likely.

I hate scUM as much as the next guy, but Ohio State was in scUM's region and could've done something about them. Instead, we lost to Gonzaga (again).
Unranked Florida State took out Xavier and Gonzaga - two ranked teams, reminding us again that "ranked" means fuck all. They then lost to scUM.
Unranked Texas A&M blew defending champs North Carolina off the floor. They then lost to scUM.
Houston could've buried scUM at the FT line. They failed. They could've prevented them from crossing half court in 1 second. They failed. Dude hit a shot. scUM won.
Montana was a 14 seed for reasons. Wanna play a 14 seed? Don't lose to Penn State three times, including in the B1G tournament (which scUM won).
They haven't lost a game in 7 weeks. That's a helluva lot of "luck".

There is something like the 8th double digit seed to make the Final 4 since re seeding in 1979 ,there have been 12th seeds,11th seeds.10th seeds to make Final 4 ,its not like Michigan is the first team to play a double digit seed in the Final 4
The past 11 years there have been 5 teams seeded 10th or lower to make the Final 4,thats every other year
There has been a 7th seed or lower in eight straight Final 4s

people saying Michigan had a lucky ride to Final 4
Im just pointing out that something like 20% of all final fours since the re seeding started has had a double digit seed,so its pretty common and not lucky
If Ohio St doesnt blow a 5 point lead with 5 minutes left (with the ball) vs a hobbled Gonzaga team,then gets outs scored 23-9 over the next 4:45
Maybe Ohio St wouldve been lucky enough to make this run ...
Michigan is the only team to beat three AP top 30 teams so far in this tournament and has a chance to beat 4 .... in the title game

With you, unfortunately. I don't see how Loyola's clock doesn't strike midnight this week. Shocked it's that low- I could see ttun running them the heck out of the gym.
Go Nova.

Imagine what the line of this game would be if it was the second round instead of the F4? Should be a couple of points higher. It took three last-minute shots, one vs a Tennessee team minus their starting center, and a lot of other things adding up to a perfect storm for Loyola just to get to the F4.

Veni. Vidi. Vici.
scUM played Gonzaga or, for that matter, anyone light years within their capabilities as a team? Hmmm...I must've missed that tournament game.
The rest of your post is entirely non-responsive to my post which, among other things, had nothing to do with Ohio State.

Um....yeah--when you get to play #9 seed FSU (overall committee rank #38) to get to the Final Four, followed up by #11 seed Loyola (overall committee rank #46) to get to the title game, that's pretty much the essence of luck. Ask Kansas, who had to play #2 seed Duke (overall committee rank #6) to get to the Final Four, and will have to beat #1 seed Villanova (overall committee rank #2) to get to the title game, if they would trade places with Michigan.
