They at least got one under their belt and Loyola Chicago is very very good program that seems to attract players that can shoot lights out.
Texas doen't have any real bball fans
Loyola was best team on floor.
Huh?
Not comparing teams comparing how seasons ended. We were all bummed by our exit. That team had FF written all over it and didn’t even make 2nd weekend.
If this were 1991 he'd be the national player of the year.
No but they are an in-state school that would be a huge underdog
Ummmm....orlando Antigua on staff
I agree, although Maryland actually beat Illinois once this year. They had some good wins. Also lost a bunch.
Do they even allow post up big men in the NBA anymore. League needs to make some changes.
No, this still does not change the fact that UConn lost to a very average, 16-13, totally beatable Maryland team and it does not help in dealing with the loss after the subpar performance.
Loyola was vastly under seeded....should have been a 3 or 4 seed by all the metrics, the committee screwed up and made them an 8. This screw up penalized Illinois more than anything. Illinois still was favored but not a huge upset.
Not really their year. It looked like they were on track, but it was an illusion when you think about the fact they couldn’t really pull off a win against quality teams other than USC early in the season.
