Congrats to Sister Jean and the Ramblers for getting to the Final Four and giving Michigan all they could handle. They proved they belonged!
Now let Nova annihilate everyone!

Before my time, but I did get to see Tark coach in the twilight of his career when Fresno State came to town to play UAB. Didn't realize what a legend he was until after the fact, but watching him chewing on those towels definitely left an impression.This Nova teams reminds me of the 1990 UNLV team. They got some men.
Something I will never forget was when the Tark coached UNLV in 1990. UNLV was playing Arkansas and Larry Johnson, a great player for Tark, was on his way down court once and pointed a finger at Nolan Richardson (coach at Arkansas) and told him he needed to get him some men. You'd have to see Larry when he played. He was a man among boys.Before my time, but I did get to see Tark coach in the twilight of his career when Fresno State came to town to play UAB.

Loyola-Chicago’s magical run in the NCAA tournament ended at Michigan’s hands on Saturday. After the Wolverines beat the Ramblers in a national semifinal, UM guard Jordan Poole did something nice. He stopped to shake hands with Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the 98-year-old Loyola team chaplain who became a media darling this March.
I think it will come down to Nova being able to control the big german Kid Wagner. If Nova can limit his touches and rebounding, the game will be a runaway. Wagner has made a ton of money in the last 2 games. if he comes out, and he likely should, he'll be a sold NBA player for a long time in the league. He obviously draws comparison to Dirk Nowitski. I just think Nova is too skilled for Meechigan to stay with them. Nova beats us by 23 and Kansas by 16. It at least makes me feel a little better.Based on how they have played so far, 'Nova is hard to bet against. That said, don't underestimate Meecchigan. Only good teams are still playing at this point.
