March 25, 20188 yr Amazing, this is a much different team that I saw defeat Evansville by 10 back in February. I don't remember seeing Sister Jean, maybe that's the difference.
March 25, 20188 yr Honestly, who looked at this Region and thought Loyola would win it! Wow! Loyola was the best team out of the 4 teams who made it to the Sweet 16 out of this region though .
March 25, 20188 yr This right here is why I say only 5 teams per conference in, and let some of the smaller school in.
March 25, 20188 yr Loyola’s run has been amazing. I would love seeing them advance to the championship. They played awesome tonight.
March 25, 20188 yr Loyola shot 57.4% from the field and 50% from 3 on 9-18 and 83.3% from the line. K-State shot 34.8% from the field and 24% from 3 on 6-26 and 83.3% from the line on 10-12. When every shot you take is a good open look or a layup, you shoot a good percentage. Didn't someone say something about how good Kansas State's defense is?

March 25, 20188 yr [/b] Yea I think it was those silly announcers over and over. It is funny how announcers get fixated on things, Kenpom has K. St. defense #21 and UK is #22. I didn't hear much about how good UK's defense has been. Tonight Loyola's defense is actually ranked higher than K. St. defense. Did anyone say anything about Loyola's defense?
March 25, 20188 yr If fame doesn't stab Loyola of Chicago in the back this team will be in the finals...

March 25, 20188 yr Nothing like changing rules based on exceptions. While there is truth in your statement, there was a slight chance until last night that the NCAA champ could be rated LOWER than the NIT champ in the KenPom ratings. The top 2-3 teams in most conferences can compete very well with the 4, 5, 6, 7, teams in the Power 5. Basketball has changed, you don’t have to be 6’10” and you don’t have to be a super athlete to win at a high level.
March 25, 20188 yr Nothing like changing rules based on exceptions. Actually I said this last year, and before the tournament started this year. I mean really if your the 5th best team in your conference then should you be in the playoffs? Why not just have a 312 or how many it is tournament then.

Why not just have a 312 or how many it is tournament then. Becasue conferences aren't equal. if you're going to have at large bids then it had to be the best available regardless of conference.
