Is it possible, yes, sort of like it was possible Oklahoma could have won it this year in football.

Will it happen?

No f’n way, the nun bites the big one this afternoon and all that will be left is stories for their grandkids

They can win tonight, IMO.

Practically no chance to knock off KU or Nova.

is it possible

Probably some where in the realm of...

Less possible than the Giants beating the Pats in Superbowl XLII.

More possible than Middle Tenn State beating Michigan State in 2016.

Well, they have a better chance than all but 3 other teams in the country. I am pretty sure Virginia, or Duke, or for that matter any ACC team does not have as good a chance as Loyola.

I think it's weird when people say they can win tonight but can't beat NOVA or KU. Michigan is every bit as good as Kansas and only slightly behind NOVA overall . If you think Loyola can beat Mochigan theres mo reason tp thonl tgey can't win it all. I think they lose tonight but it wouldn't shock me if they won it all. I actually think Michigan is a tougher matchup for them than KU would be.

It's not that, at least for me.

It's the prospect of them beating two superior opponents who are playing well in a row.

For instance, if you drew the Final 4 matchups out of a hat, whomever Loyola drew, I'd give them a good chance to beat. But I'd give them little shot of beating 2 teams in a row.

Well, Michigan did nearly beat Louisville in 2013 except for a referee whistle. Oh, wait, Louis ville had to vacate that championship.

Well they already bear 2 superior opponents in a row in this tourney imo by beating Miami Bd Tennessee. I don't disagree tgat all 3 of the other teams are better but I don't think any of them are vastly superior. It would certainly be an upset if they won it but not shocking

Comparing Loyola Chicago to Oklahoma? Wow

We will see soon enough if Loyola can take Michigan to OT like OU did Georgia.

So I should claim some kind of moral victory for Georgia going to OT with Bama? A loss is a loss.

And in both cases, the team that came from behind to force OT won the game.
