can loyola win the natty

[Ron G]

and a better chance than any Big Ten team since 2000.

Well actually, the Big 10 (in this case Michigan) at this time has as good a chance as Loyola. Did you not know Michigan is in the Big 10.

michigan is pretty good

Sure, but Loyola matches up with their style okay. Unless they go off from 3 like they did vs A&M - UM shouldn't run them out of the gym. They're both defensive/discipline minded teams. Michigan will shutdown players in isolation who try to take over a game. However, Loyola doesn't have that ONE guy. They just run a very fundamentally sound offense and don't make many mistakes. They're patient and wait for good shots. The best counter to Michigan's style is just a well run/executed offense. Which the Ramblers bring to the table.

They also have a big in Krutwig (6'9 260) - Who is comparable in size to Wagner (6'10 245) and has the ability to matchup. They have all of the components in play here to make this a really tough game.

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

is it possible

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Nope

Who pissed on your frosted mini wheats?

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

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

I had to read this one again. At first I thought you were referring to the Nun's grandkids.

Right. I'm just poi ting out the odds of them making the FF were much worse than they are for,then winning the whole thing now

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

I should have also mentioned that I picked Arizona to be playing Xavier right now...

 

[BigAppleBadger]

I don’t think either of these teams have a chance against Nova or Kansas.

The old lady.


And the fact Loyola wasn't gonna win.

 

[Ojb81]

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop?

 

[SJ76]

NO


Good run tho
