Hopefully, but we don't really know that yet.

Highly suspect it, yes, but don't know.

Silly really.

They just made the final four. This can be done anytime a more obscure team makes a run. A bit lazy. I will take our tradition. I will especially take Indiana's tradition over Loyola.

Can you not just be happy for them without this lazy nonsense?

USC doesn't give a chit...

Assistant coach fired for cheating but they still go ahead and hire daddy to get players.

Thank goodness things are finally looking up again for Memphis, but I can't disagree with you more that this list is "lazy nonsense".

As far "our tradition" being so much better, or that Loyola of Chicago should be considered an "obscure team"?

Loyola of Chicago played in it's first championship game against a defending National Champion 55 years ago, and won. Memphis played its first championship game 45 years ago against a defending National Champion, and lost.

Both teams have been to multiple Sweet Sixteens. However, only one has had to vacate any tournament wins; the same team of the two that has been in trouble with the NCAA for violating rules, more than once.

Each team will have played in one Semi-Final Championship game in the past decade (barely).

Unfortunately, only one will be ranked in the top ten at the end of this season, while the other didn't even make the NIT.

Honestly, I couldn't have argued with anyone at the end of this season, that Memphis shouldn't be considered the more "obscure team" based on recent track-records.

Loyola is in its first NCAA Tournament since 1985.

They have only been in five Tournaments ever before this year.

Sit your beside-the-point ass down and shut up.
