Loyola Chicago vs Oregon State Preview
These two teams have been two of the most pleasant surprises of the tournament so far, but the fairy tale will be ending for one of them.
Loyola is looking to return to the Final Four for the second time since 2018, and it’s rolling so far in the tourney. Fresh from knocking off No. 1 seed Illinois, the Ramblers and their hugely famous fan Sister Jean are quickly becoming the darlings of the tournament.
Center Cameron Krutwig has been leading the way for Loyola, notching a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds in the team’s 71-58 win over Illinois. Lucas Williamson and Marquise Kennedy added 14 points apiece for the Ramblers in a well-rounded performance that featured a smothering defense that stifled and ultimately eliminated a heavily-favored Illini team.
The Ramblers aren’t done yet, though, and they enter this game the favorites. “Like we said last round, we’ve got more work to do, so we’re going to go ahead, get back to the drawing board. We’re going to enjoy it for sure, but at some point it’s going to end and we’ve got to focus on the next team,” Krutwig said, via 247 Sports.
Oregon State has notched wins against the likes of ranked teams like Oregon and Oklahoma State. The Beavers handed OSU an 80-70 loss in the second round last weekend, with guard Ethan Thompson leading the way, scoring a game-high 26 points in the victory. Maurice Calloo and Jarod Lucas each added 15 points for Oregon State in a solid overall performance on both sides.
The Beavers swarmed the basket, out-rebounding Oklahoma State by 20. They’ll be facing arguably the scrappiest team in the tournament in Loyola next. “They’re a great team,” Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle, who grew up near the Loyola campus, told the Chicago Tribune. “This is really going to mean something extra special for me and my family.”
Another win against the streaking Ramblers would go a long way to getting this emerging Oregon State even more cred — which their coach says his team richly deserves.
“We’ve got some talented, talented teams in our league,” Tinkle added, via 247 Sports. “We’re obviously putting everybody on notice. I’m very happy for our program, but I’m extremely happy for the Pac-12. Maybe now we’ll get some damn respect.”
