Loyola may be a flash in the pan.
But with the hunger that mid-majors have for teams that could get an at-large bid, there is little to lose.
Loyola Chicago is a great institutional fit for either the A10/Big East as a Catholic/Jesuit school.
Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
Scrooge-"Are there no prisons?". "Plenty of prisons..."
Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."
"Those who are badly off must go there."
"Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
Excuse me if I want to see a little more sustained success out of a school before giving them an A10/Big East invite.
Yes, they've had a nice season and a nice run, but that's the thing about March Madness, schools can go on runs, it does not mean they can maintain success. Difference between winning a few games and building a sustainable, long term, strong program.
Loyolas ball movement is elite. Much better than any team the summit provides. They don't have a player like daum but their guards are very good. I'd take them any day to beat either of the SD schools based on their ball movement alone. Talent wise between Sdsu and Loyola isn't much difference...but wow they're difficult to defend and have 3 or 4 guys who can drain any 3 or jumpshot at anytime.
I love how they pump fake after getting the ball. Every time!
