Loyola is a really good team. Not sure they can hang with Michigan, but who knows.

You know what has stuck out to me through Loyola's run is their "active hands" defense. I mean, the O&B was one of the highest rankling teams this past season in turnovers, which was very, very refreshing, and yet, I have not seen any comments about how Loyola's active hands has been instrumental in keeping them in this tourney.

I am not chalking up KSU to a fluke, just wondering why the KSU head coach could not produce anything close in year 6 at Ill.

Weber actually did produce something similar to this. For example, in year #8 Illinois was a 9-seed, just like KSU was this year. They won a first round game over UNLV and then lost to Kansas in the second round. So basically, the difference that year was that Kansas didn't lost to a 16 seed. And don't forget, Weber took Illinois to the Final Four in 2005.

It's so crazy that if Michigan hangs on in this game, that either Loyola or Michigan will be playing for the national championship :eek:
