A few posts ago someone made the point that hopefully this isn't LU's entering into this 30-year nightmare again. If we get that bad again, Loyola please ...

Re: Southern Utah Preview and Game Thread -- 11/19/2024

Definitely happy with the dub, could care less if we didn't cover.

Can somebody more knowledgeable explain the two technicals that we got? Maybe they explained in the broadcast but live at the game we were puzzled.

Re: Conference Realignment

Can't believe an academically respectable conference like the WCC would take in a for-profit business. They shouldn't even be in the NCAA, although it looks like all teams will be Grand Canyons soon.

It is funny how GCU had to fudge a bunch of shit to actually qualify for n0t-4-prophet-status ...

Re: A10 Teams in NCAA Tournament

That honestly reads and looks like a fake AI account that just scours the internet for popular discussion and regurgitates it as if it’s new breaking news

Either the board is broken or we did not actually win.

I took the blue pill I thought.

Re: Florida Atlantic Preview and Game Thread-- 11/08/2023

I actually think a very telling game will be UIC next week.
Agree. If The Loyola University can play a game against UICC with single digit turnovers, then that will give me belief there is hope. If the double digit turnover monster persists against a team that will play defense at a lower level of ...

Re: How Popular is Loyola? And does it matter?

Interesting kenpom take on something so hard to gauge. I think we have Sister Jean to thank for some of the intangibles! She is amazing.
