Two years after that the 2016-17 season had started 10-2 including a near miss at North Carolina State, but ended with maybe the lowest low for me, looking awful losing to a mediocre SIU for the third time that year in the first round Arch Madness with Milton due to graduate. Coming home on the longest train ride of my life, I recall one of our most stalwart fans quoting Larry Farmer to me, "It's never going to happen at Loyola."
A little more than a year later, it really did happen.
That was such a depressing game. Just felt hopeless. Milt went to the line late in the game when it was close, and I remember thinking, "He's going to miss both." Sure enough, he did. But on the other hand, I hit a three-pointer at halftime to win a Casey's gift card. So that was a positive.
