You know a comment repeated several times on the Shocker board the last week and again just now , was that if WSU was still in the league Loyola wouldn't have made the NCAA Tournament. They're just flat delusional; I saw both teams a ton of times this year and in a Championship Game in STL , Loyola would have shredded the Shockers defense. No doubt. If only one team was going, it wouldn't have been the Shockers. Congrats again to Porter Moser and the Loyola Ramblers !!

My one question is- Is Mullins ready to take over? I think Porter being gone is a 100% chance now. He has led the best coached team in the tournament and it is just a matter of where he ends up.


Why? If you can get to the Final Four from Loyola, why would you go anywhere else? What's he thinking, that he'll never get to the Final Four as long as he's in the MVC? He JUST DID. So here's the deal: Hey Sister Jean, get out there and raise some money, and pay this guy a 7-figure salary, and keep it going.

Now, if Kansas or Kentucky comes calling, what can you do? But some middling "P5" @#$%hole where you'll get run out of town in a few years for not winning a national title? Who needs it?

I also said this in response to a poster saying Loyola might have beat WSU:

Don't disagree, the statement is just more powerful than if I said "one of WSU or Loyola doesn't make the tournament." I just decided to use KenPom as the most likely outcome. Porter's record vs Gregg could be used as well.


Edit: I would be more than happy to carry on a Wichita State conversation in the Wichita topic, I'll keep this topic reserved for Loyola.

Who cares about Wichita tonight, the AAC was way over-rated, WSU was beat by Marshall. There is no way the AAC get's three teams again. Loyola would beat WSU worse than K-State. Loyola is a Final Four team.

So proud of and happy for the Loyola administrators, coaches, players, donors, and fans who made this happen! You’ve made history and deserve every ounce of this! Sears Tower lit up in maroon and gold - just jawdropping and incomprehensible.

What a difference 5 months makes. From belittling the MVC in an October article to sitting in a March TBS studio analyzing an MVC Final Four run, Shakespeare couldn’t script more chilling irony for Marshall.
PS. You missed on your KSU pick, Gregg!

What a win! What a team! What a run! I got a little nervous down the stretch there, but they did enough to stem the tide and keep it rolling. Go Ramblers! God bless Sister Jean!

Great win for the Ramblers. And they were truly the better team. Final Four! Can they take it even further ?
