Loyola's on the rise, I don't know if they'll hang onto their coach but he's actually doing decently at rebuilding. Also they bring in previous prestige which some mid major conferences love.


A lot more time is going to be needed to determine that. previous coach hovered around .500 some years, usually was a good deal below but managed a game over his last season there. New coach in 2 seasons so far has gone 7-23 and 15-16. There is some historical prestige, but we are talking about a program that hasn't been to the NCAA's since 1985.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Porter Moser was our lead recruiter under Majerus for awhile. We traded him to Loyola for Jim Whitesell.
Big East Basketball is what it's always been. Great competition nightly.
If the Atlantic 10 didn't suck, why is everyone looking for the exits?
There is a reason why the A-10 left a team in the Central Time Zone...SLU, your move.

Oh I know they've been a joke for years now. And true not much post season to brag about (9 all together) but a Championship is more than anybody except MU, GT, and Nova can say. And if after two years he's added 8 wins and nobody else in the MVC steps up to fill Creighton's spot then I fully expect Loyola to in a year or two.
