Re: Where do we go from here?

I can’t believe some here are actually saying they should bring Drew back. This is legitimately one of the worst D1 basketball teams in America. Do you think the donors who funded this roster, facilities upgrades etc. are cool with this? Zero chance.

It literally cannot get any worse. For almost a ...

Re: Where do we go from here?

There is a difference between a down year and a year that may end up the worst season in program history. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for the latter, particularly given the resources this program has. We have a large sample size now. He’s 89-71 at Loyola. Take the first year out ...

Unless he’s made a massive leap from his season at Creighton, this isn’t going to move the needle much. He couldn’t sniff the floor at CU and left the team mid season.

Re: George Mason Preview and Game Thread -- 1/13/2026

This is not a commentary on tonight’s game, because the guys who played gave good effort. But I fear this season is setting Loyola back farther than people realize. We are currently ranked 295th in KenPom, just behind Prairie View A&M. Every team deals with injuries, so that cannot be an excuse ...

Re: San Jose State Preview and Game Thread -- 11/26/2025

This is the worst team since Porter’s first season. I struggle to see how they win more than 6-7 games total this season. Absolutely inexcusable for a program with the resources and facilities Loyola has, both of which are excellent for a mid major program. There will be, and possible already are ...

Re: Mercyhurst Preview and Game Thread -- 11/6/2025

While there is some talent on this team, a few early observations that are pretty concerning:

- we have no traditional post scoring threat. Zero.
- ball movement is below average
- rebounding is not good
- there seem to be some egos in terms of shot taking. That’s the risk with a transfer heavy ...

Their team got hit with an illness. Sounds like Alexander and some others were quite under the weather pregame. That Creighton loss will be a very good loss as the year goes on.

Re: Creighton Preview and Game Thread -- 11/22/2023

I don’t see how Loyola keeps this close, short of going absolutely unconscious from 3.

As others have alluded to, the top 3 for Creighton is as good as any in the country. Alexander is possibly the best SG in America. Scheierman is a 6’7 wing who is athletic and an absolute sniper from long range ...

Re: New Orleans Preview and Game Thread -- 11-18-2023

Creighton may be the best offensive team in the country and they have one of the three best defensive players in America in their C Kalkbrenner. That game could get very, very ugly.

Absolutely nonsensical substitutions.
