The Ramblers’ Cinderella story will keep rambling along after a 69-68 win over Nevada in the Sweet 16 Thursday night. It’s the third straight game where Loyola has hit a huge shot in the waning seconds to clinch victory, a perfect trend for the most surprising story still left in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
To celebrate Loyola’s Elite 8 trip, athletes and teams from across Chicago gave love on social media to the city’s college basketball darling. Let’s round up the pixel party.
LOYOLA! LETS GOOOO!
