I am going to say GO Ramblers!!
I have been very impressed with their style and brand of basketball they have been showing this season.

Anyone but Kansas or Nova. Can't stand either of them, but the reality is that Nova is the best of the 4 and I'll be shocked if they don't win it.

Go Ramblers!!!

Man every player on Loyola knows their role and the system, that's why they are good.

R U KIDDING ME??????? Ramblers up at the half!!!
It's all about half time adjustments now. Let's see if Belein out duels Moser from here on out.

Loyola up 7 and Custer and Richardson have not found their shot yet. If they get going in the second half...it could really happen. Here's hoping. I would love to stay loyal to my conference...but it's Scum.

Jevon Carter and Sindarius Thornwell are the types of kids that exemplify the "culture" that I suspect Underwood is trying to build here. Tough as nails and strong-minded kids who do the little things and play with tenacity.

Some programs are finesse. Boeheim makes a living off of the rail-thin lengthy kids who are plus athletes and really disrupt the passing lanes. Perfect for his 2-3 zone. Others prioritize aggressive defense -- Cincinnati, Purdue, etc. That's what "culture" means to me. It's more than just style of play -- it's about a mindset.

Am I the only one who isn't particularly excited about this type of culture? Especially as we are watching Beilein and "finesse" Michigan play in the final 4 for a second time.

I just think it is tough to consistently recruit 13 guys who play with this tough mindset and are also talented enough to win games.

Loyola 24-0 when leading at the half......25-0 would be awesome.

He's a good player but I don't like Wagner. Always whining to the officials. I remember last year when Mav schooled him.

I'm already tired of the But Loyola posts and we still have months (years?) more of them.

extreme synergy can beat talent (Loyola). Talent with synerygy should be the goal. talent without team synergy generally makes tournament but won't go far.

I think it's more a great example of team basketball on both ends. Instead of on offense giving it to one or two guys and others doing very little or just standing and watching.
I certainly want to recruit the right players for our system but I certainly want to get to a place were we have a few potential NBA players on our roster too.

I think this Michigan team is full of themselves. Maybe I'm just jealous that they have players that get fired up.

And Mich is 28-0 when Robinson scores 6, and he has, so we'll see what gives. Mich's streak will give. Yup

I absolutely dislike seeing our former recruits succeed (e.g. poole, simpson). Does that make me a supreme hater or do others experience this feeling?

What's bugs me is that even "plan b" guys ended up being great. Who the hell expected Landry Shamet to be a future NBA player?
