Loyola puts you in a grinder. Amazing efficiency and basketball.

Think the Big Ten leaders are in some major trouble.

I love watching Loyola’s offense. The movement, screens, and unselfishness. Fun to watch.

Real shame this game is the 1st game of the 2nd round. It sure is a great game for all of us to watch but this is going to end up feeling like an Elite 8 game by the end.

They must have read the scouting report once the ball goes into Kofi it's a black hole doesn't came back out so go ahead and put all 5 guys on him.

Loyola 9th in kenpom yet 8 seed. Way under seeded team which hurts both themselves and Illinois. Not sure what the committee was thinking they should been a 6 or at worst 7.

Hell Loyola been much better off being an 11 seed. Maybe they pull a Northern Iowa but it will be sure tough vs Illinois.

Fucking Clemson was a 7-seed. San Diego State was a 6-seed. Not sure what some folks in that room were smoking.

Took me about 3 seconds to pick against both of those teams in round one.

I would need to see replay but didn't see like a foul there.

I get the feeling my Final Four won't survive the second round.

Sock has Oklahoma State going to the final four. If the ramblers pull this upset, then that makes my final four pick % go up.

Illinois needs a big run to get back in it and I’m not sure how they do it. Loyola is so sound.

They would still have to beat Loyola, and therein lies the problem.

Texas wins the Big XII tournament, loses to Abilene Christian in the first round.

Loyala’s big is very good

Loyala’s big is very good

He was on their Final Four team as a freshman. Looks a lot smoother now. Can't jump but still gets his shot off.

How much of their FF team still remains? They look extremely well coached.
