After the Clark Kellogg mini-doc on the 1963 team the other day, I've been rooting for them.

Here's how to get a Sister Jean bobblehead (USA Today)

was the first NCAA championship game I watched as a kid. We were pulling for Loyola, though I have no idea why, and I remember being amazed at their comeback and their buzzer beater in overtime. Some years later, I used to attend ABA games and one of Loyola's players, Les "Big Game" Hunter, was a very solid pro, but I didn't realize he was a member of that Loyola team.

I think he deserves mention just for having a great nickname, "Big Game" Hunter, as much for the play on words with his last name as the fact that he got the nickname because he always seemed to play his best in the big games.

Have always kept up with Loyola's results and wondered if they could ever hit the big time again. Really glad to see the Ramblers rambling into the Final Four.
