The Loyola men’s basketball team has had a historic year, and if the team wants to continue making history, it has to live by the college basketball cliche “survive and advance.” The Ramblers’ first test will be against the University of Miami March 15.
The Hurricanes have had an up-and-down season, according to associate head coach Chris Caputo. The team was picked to finish fourth in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) preseason poll and went 11-1 in its non-conference schedule, losing only to New Mexico State University — another NCAA tournament team.
The makeup of the Hurricanes’ roster is constructed differently than Loyola’s.
