Loyola returns home for Sweet 16 prep as talk of Chicago
CHICAGO — These sure are sweet times for Loyola-Chicago.
Two last-second shots — two prayers answered — vaulted the Ramblers to the Sweet 16 and placed them right in the national spotlight.
“Coach (Porter Moser) has been talking about how ‘You think this is good? Look around. You think this is good? Well, it’s gonna get even better,’” guard Ben Richardson said. “It’s just kind of been bought into that, like put it in the bag and move on.”
The Ramblers are moving on to face Nevada after two breathtaking victories, a run that has captivated college basketball and turned 98-year-old team chaplain Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt into a celebrity.
