Incredible Finish for the Ramblers

(Nashville, TN) – Donte Ingram’s buzzer beating three-point basket has sent to Loyola to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Carrying the Missouri Valley Conference banner and representing mid-major teams, the Ramblers shocked Miami 64-62 as Ingram buried a triple with .3 seconds left. Our friend, and beat writer Todd Golden tweets that MVC teams have won every first round NCAA Tournament game in which they’ve played since 2012.

The MVC has not lost a first-round NCAA Tournament game since WSU lost to VCU in 2012. Given that the MVC has had just 11 teams in since 2012, that’s an incredible run of first-round success.

Head coach Porter Moser says he is blessed to coach his team of incredibly resilient players.

 

 

Ingram who struggled with his shot most of the game, made the three-pointer, but says anyone on the floor could have stepped up and made the bucket. Clayton Custer says the Ramblers repeatedly practice end of game situations.

 

 

Loyola moves on to the NCAA Tournament’s second round where they will be a massive underdog against Tennessee, but Custer says the Ramblers don’t feel any pressure in this tournament and that they are a dangerous team when they are playing free and easy.

Meanwhile, Moser wants his players to enjoy the journey.

 

 

LUC has won 11 straight games. They are 28-5 and take on the second seeded Volunteers (26-8) Saturday.

I couldn’t resist. As long as the NCAA is tweeting it out there, I can share it. What a moment!
