I am impressed with Loyola. We of course missed Moses but we did not out athlete them like we all hoped. They are a very good basketball team.
Problem is we let ourselves get killed from the perimeter.That center was...unimpressive. Wright would’ve had a huge game.
Illinois is one of the dirtiest teams in the country though.Usually I root for teams like that against the bigger factory schools but after today I’m leaning to the little 11 school. They just got away with a bit too much for me to root for them. Beat us straight up that would have been one thing but 19-9 with curious fouls taking our only size out of game & horrendous no calls, etc. Nope

And not saying its intentional, but a foul is a foul and the refs really stuck it to us this game.No doubt. They hit us at least 3 times in the face and nothing.
I have to diasgree. If your guards are breaking them down consistently, you score more than 60 against a team without an interior defender. I honestly thought they were our equivalent in terms of athletes. I think we may have won with Moses but that was a quality team that would have been a struggle even with our real #5. However I recognize that this is just my opinion after only seeing them once.Our guards clearly out athleted them. We were fairly constantly getting past them while they were struggling to drive for most of the game at all.
There was a big ACCT vs NCAAT back & forth going on here the last week. Now everyone remember why the NCAAT matter more?Can’t wait until we see the banner first game next season!
