Over the last 17 years, A10 programs that have been in the Sweet 16: 7 Big Ten programs that have been in the Sweet 16: 7

@mattchidcnyc @Swan_ASF @MidMajorDanger @BlersTalking @TG2point0 I have to second this point. Pretty much every retention/signing chip went Loyolas way last off-season. Irregardless of the rest of this convo, this team has talent

@mattchidcnyc @BlersTalking *I will consciously choose not to comment on this*

@Swan_ASF This is not rec league, this is D1 basketball. One injury on a roster should not lead to having no functioning offense

15 turnovers with over 8 minutes to go. Genuinely impressive that Duquesne is not in control

Another one of those games where I just don’t know how they’re in it. Embrace the ugly, finish it off

10 turnovers in the first half is infuriating in itself, but the context makes it worse. I’d say about half of those weren’t even in an offensive set. They were just giving them the ball

As terrible as Loyola looks and as many lucky shots Duquesne has had fly in, they’re only down 7. That should be enough to let the team know they have 0 business losing to this team. Clean it up

I want Glazkov to get an actual chance here, not just 1-2 minutes. No reason not to when none of the guards can hold onto the ball

Like what are they doing? This team does everything they can to be bad. Are they aware that they don’t have to make these mistakes?

Even if it was actually a charge technically, as soon as I see you fall dramatically to sell it, I do not want you to benefit from that

You just gotta embrace ugly basketball when watching these games

@Swan_ASF @mattchidcnyc Fair, but the kicker from me from that MBI was the opening round matchup when a 5-25 (KP 316) Tulsa team took us to the woodshed

@mattchidcnyc @Swan_ASF Myrtle Beach may have been the most excruciating Loyola basketball I’ve ever watched

@Swan_ASF I’m not saying we’re doomed… I’m just saying this might be a trend to think about if we get blanked at the A10 tournament again

@Swan_ASF Sure, but if we take every bracketed game played over the past 4 years, it’s now 5-13 with 3 of those coming in 2022 arch madness

@sullymygoodname It’s funny bc this is how I feel about just winning a single game at the A10 tournament
