Loyola beats San Francisco 79-74 in Salt Lake City
Loyola is in great shape for an at-large if they can go 15-3/14-4 or so in MVC play. Hopefully someone beats them in St. Louis.
We have some pretty exciting games coming up with 2 games each versus Loyola and MSU, along with games against UNI and Drake over the next 4 weeks! I hope we are able to have good crowds for the home games.
Of course, we also play Valpo twice, Bradley and Indiana State, but those games although equally important to the standings, aren't quite as exciting. So many games over the next 4 weeks!!!!
@resaluki-88 Prior to Winter Break the Dawg Pound was fairly full for most games. I imagine they will be out in force for all the Valley games. This definitely makes for an enthusiastic crowd all over the Banterra Center Arena.

The swim team is the best part of the Dawg Pound!

Don’t tell Barkeep, but his favorite team is ahead of Loyola at the half.

Bradley up 15 at Loyola with 14:54 left. Braves have really improved.
Mo State shoots fire up off the court in pregame intros.
Didnt know that. Not too shabby.
SIU needs a better intro to fire the crowd up. Think the rest of the Valley turns off the lights and has some kind of cool stuff like that.
IIRC, they turned out the lights for the intro Fletcher’s senior year. Odd, little details stick with me - Armon said, “Saluki fans, lights out,” blew out a candle and then the Arena lights went out. Actually, that was not a bad intro video altogether - Pendleton was featured in it on an and 1 and I always loved that guy.
BU is taking it to Loyola in Peoria. Normally I would root for Loyola to get the at-large and knocked off at the Arch, but to hell with ‘em. You hear me, Ramblers? Fuck you . This could have been a super F U N conference if Loyola had stayed. I’m not even talking about bids etc, I’m just talking about F U N basketball. Lots of possible entertaining matchups if they had stayed. Woulda shoulda coulda.
I'd rather have Loyola win. The fact that Bradley rebuilt their team this offseason and is on par with or possibly better than SIU is...not encouraging.
That being said, Loyola has fought back.
They are not better than SIU
that being said I hope Bradley ends up losing by 30 and their heat goes out in their locker room.
UE 33 Drake 27 at the half
college basketball is broken this year
They are not better than SIU

They're ahead of SIU in the NET and likely pass them in KenPom win or lose today (depending on how SIU plays later)
Lucas Williamson hits a 3 and gets fouled and hits the FT to tie it with 1:30 left

Bradley has managed to blow it - I want Loyola to lose every game - traitors!

Loyola can fall apart next year, really only want SIU to beat them this year because anyone else that beats them are competition for SIU moving forward

We don't need Loyola - with Belmont, Murray and UIC, it'll be a better conference with all kinds of good bball.
