It's now 52-33 with fourteen minutes left in the game This one is in the books. Loyola will become only the fourth 11 seed to make the Final Four in the history of the 64-team field. Jesus Christ.
I looked at Loyola's schedule the other day. They only lost five games all year. They play in the Missouri Valley Conference which I think is a well-regarded mid-major conference. But they did not punch above their weight class. They didn't play an early season game against an elite team from a major conference as you often see. With no base for measure it is very difficult to tell how good you are. So they didn't have any "good" wins that I recall and they only had one "bad" loss, but it was a stinker. Got blown out by Boise State in Boise. This is basketball now, not tackle football. Boise State t'ain't shit in b-ball.
Anyway--54-35 now, 12 minutes to go--what a frigging surprise team.
