What's Up In The Missouri Valley 3/29/2021


 
Puppet Ramblings: Sweet Sixteen, Day 2--Hoops HD

-Oregon State marches on!!  That is five top 25 wins in a row for a team that almost no one gave any thought to on the Thursday of the Pac 12 Tournament.  They are now in the Elite Eight after knocking off a very good defensive Loyola Chicago team, and are perhaps the most improbable team to ever advance to an Elite Eight.  I don’t know that any team who was in virtually no bracketology projections at any point of the season and who needed the automatic bid just to get in has ever gone all the way to the Elite Eight.  The Loyola program is still in the midst of a great run.  It was their second Sweet Sixteen appearance in the last four years, and given how things are going the run may not be over.  We may see more NCAA Tournaments and top 25 rankings in their future.  Yesterday’s game was a bit of a rock fight, but it was one of those that guaranteed a good and historic story regardless of how it came out.
