Loyola Chicago carried out 101-year-old superfan Sister Jean’s plans to a T on Sunday, moving to the Sweet 16 with a 71-58 win over Illinois, the first No 1 seed bounced from college basketball’s crown jewel, the NCAA Tournament. The team became only the second No 15 seed in the history of the tournament to reach the Sweet 16. Sister Jean's prayer called for Loyola to hold Illinois under 30% from 3-pt range and you better believe it happened. It’s a turn of events that Sister Jean could see happening. There was another shock on Sunday as No 11 seed Syracuse beat No 3 seed West Virginia, 75-72.
