Loyola-Chicago Provides Tournaments First Upset, Beating Miami

The N.C.A.A. tournament is about buzzer-beaters, and the first one in this year’s event came from No. 11 Loyola of Chicago.

It was a close game throughout, but Miami took the lead late, and Lonnie Walker IV went to the line with his team up by 1 and 9 seconds left.

He missed, and Loyola raced down court to try to take the lead. Donte Ingram fired from 3 points, and with 2 seconds left, it swished in, giving Loyola the first upset of the tournament, 64-62.

Celebrating the win was Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, the 98-year-old nun who serves as the team chaplain for Loyola.

(P.S., Loyola's my Law School.)

The pac12 sucked this year, I think only 2 teams got in.

I'm really bummed that ASU lost, it was a good game though.
