I have never been a believer in the power of prayer to affect a sporting event. I might have to rethink my position!

In 1963, Loyola won the 1963 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament (then the "NCAA University Division") men's basketball national championship under the leadership of All-American Jerry Harkness, defeating two-time defending champion Cincinnati 60–58 in overtime in the title game. All five starters for the Ramblers played the entire championship game without substitution.

I was in Freedom Hall for that game. My father was a Cincinnati grad.

Nice win. Maybe I can get Sister Jean to pray for my girls this week during our playoff run.

Can she pray for poor Nika?
