Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, or just Sister Jean as most of us know her, is still cheering for her Loyola-Chicago basketball team at 101 years of age.
The school confirmed this afternoon that Sister Jean will be with her team in Indianapolis:
Loyola-Chicago confirmed Tuesday that Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the 101-year-old chaplain for the school’s basketball team, will be in attendance Friday when the Ramblers open the NCAA tournament against Georgia Tech in Indianapolis. The Ramblers won the Missouri Valley Conference championship and are the No. 8 seed in the Midwest region.
Sister Jean, who became an international celebrity during Loyola-Chicago’s run to the Final Four in 2018, has not attended games since the coronavirus pandemic began.
