Loyola Chicago (8) vs. Georgia Tech (9), Friday, 4pm ET, TBS

[GT_B]

With the way this team chemistry is and the way we are playing right now, I feel confident against anyone, now is Clemson at 7 and us at 9 a joke? Yes. But Illinois fears us more than we fear them. Give me Jose in the tourney all day baby.

Loyola favored by 2 1/2 to start

We got 4-5 days to plan and get ready

Also 100-1 odds to take it all are better than I thought we’d get

Whoever faces Illinois and kofi cockburn gets in foul trouble then Illinois will lose.

I hope our team feels disprespected and has chip on their shoulder. I want to seem them playing hungry just like we did against FSU. That team beats FSU 9/10 times. We can definitely own this bracket.

It doesnt matter who first, We have to win four or 5 games to win the championship. This is just step 1 GO JACKETS.

... 6 in a row now is the number you (we) are looking for to bring home THE Banner!

Wonder if CJP is going to make some calls to Jason Gardner, former Arizona guard who coached under Porter Moser at Loyola before joining CJP in Memphis.

Problem is he gets away with a lot of physicality in the paint. The way to beat Illinois is to put Kofi on the line a lot.

L-C has a deserved rep for playing good bball from 2 yrs ago and have the same coach and a very skilled big ctr from then.NOT a pushover.

Not a push-over, but this is absolutely a 7-10 match-up with Tech being the 7 seed. The problem is we get the 1 seed next instead of the 2 seed. Gotta beat them all anyway. I predict a Final Four appearance if we get through the first weekend.

Loyola-Chicago can rise up and beat us if we don't take them seriously. But, I don't expect Tech to look past anyone.

1) Take the under no matter what it is.
2) Moses will go off this game!
3) We win by 10

Did they say when they’d have game times?

Usually comes out later tonight. Not sure if bubble/Covid/later in the week tournament start changes the timeline at all.

He likes to hook at the basket and baseline.

Know this but even if we win Illinois is gonna eat our lunch

What a stand up guy. CJP announced he has almost 1500 text messages, and wanted the media to announce that he will indeed respond to every last single one of them, it may just take some time.

Wrong forum and allegiance. They barely beat Ohio State today, who has a nearly identical record to ours - they just didn’t miss a few easy games to Covid like we did.

A '12 game winning streak'? I think he already has us in the Final Four

The problem with that is it will mean our guys pick up a lot of fouls. Can’t afford to have any of our starters disqualified early.
