Fun fact: I asked this question. Had the incredible opportunity to head to Lakers practice today and talk with AD, Frank Vogel and LeBron James for my internship!.
Anthony Davis stands by Chicago being the Mecca of Basketball: “It is. We’ve got the best basketball players ever. You look at the history with all the guys we’ve got that made the league and even the guys that didn’t make the league. They say New York, but it’s not even close.”

I’m heartbroken. I met Jeff Dickerson as a sophomore at Loyola through a mutual friend. We connected immediately and chatted at plenty a Rambler game. He was a huge help through the job search and even served as a reference for me. I’ll miss him greatly.

FINAL: Loyola Chicago 79, San Francisco 74. What an ending after a Ramblers turnover and some missed opportunities by the Dons. Great win for Loyola (NET: 19) over an impressive USF team (NET: 32). Not bad for a team that hasn't played in 27 days.
