#3 seed...which, as of now, is Indiana St.

Hoping that the Sycs somehow lose at Bradley and ISUr wins on Saturday so we get another shot at the Redbirds. I hate how we match up against ISUb.

1 vs. 8

2 vs. 7

3 vs. 6

4 vs 5

It must be repeated ... thank you so much, all of you, for the updates tonight. You could totally feel the up & down roller coaster of emotions during the game. What a great ride this season has been. Burritos for all! Go Ramblers!

Just got back from the Museum party---Well done RAMBLERS --WELL DONE GUYS and GAL from Ramblermania !!! Biggest win of the year so far --More to come ??
These little guys besides talent have another thing--BUT it is big--It is huge !! It is HEART !!

Just a superb season without our best of a bunch of best players !!! Its only a guess --and who knows ? BUT I wager with Milton healthy all year it was at least a 4th and possibly a third place finish !! This team of little guys is actually that good !! AND I remind everyone that this was not supposed to happen until next year !!!

One more small step on our way back !!~

Cripes !! Porter must be proud !! This bad boy of a success story seems to have started at Kent St--Lucky for me I was there !

Right on, Brot!

Drove from Chicago with The Calculator Lady this afternoon. The last 100 miles on I80 were swirling snow and got in at 3:30 and then the blizzard hit the town. Only 3-4 inches of snow but the roads were snow packed. Nice arena and a lot of friendly people. Free parking right across the street.
The team chartered and it was a very small plane so it made no sense for Milt to be crammed in. Hope they have a safe flight home.
London's parents were there and were talking about all the cars in the ditches on I 80 when they came in later. The Crisman's were there as well. My guess is would have been a bigger crowd if not for the weather.
Defense really neutralized Ricks. The big Dane was tough down low and Timmer is a real player. Could have used Rajala for ten minutes this game as James and Thomas had their hands full.
Turk could not get going but White and Peterson really came up big. Ingram and Knuth did get in some time in the first half but Coach had to find some defense and White and Crisman came up big.
Key play of the game was Crisman steal and pass to Richardson in the first half. Completely changed the momentum.
Nice character win for the Ramblers. Peterson really showed great leadership.
Got to talk to Coach after the game. He and his staff really worked hard to come up with this clutch win.
Someone told me our first game will be the 8:30 game on Friday night. I heard that Indiana St and Illinois State are tied for third.
Really looking forward to the Missouri State game. Real proud of Crisman and Thomas for their four year contributions. They had some truly lean seasons. Nice to see them finish on the up tick.

Thank You Streak for that wonderful report. I feel proud that we both believed in Porter and the direction he was taking the team. When others were taking pot shots we saw something special happening this year. Wish I could have shared this special moment with you and Calculator Lady tonight. I feel the future is bright for Loyola basketball. I am not sure I ever believed I would say that.

Safe Travels My Friend

Congrats, Ramblers and Ramblermaniacs.
I had to work tonight, and when I raced back home I read everybody's commentary on the game. Sounded exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. It was only through reading Ramblermania that I actually found out who won the game. Not one word about this game on WGN television and radio, NBC, or ABC Chicago television outlets. Plenty of pictures and descriptions of Northwestern and U of I games, not even a mention or rolling scroll for us. What is wrong with this picture?
Go Ramblers!

They Mentioned It On WGN this morning but said we lost 80-75. Haha!
