The Loyola men’s basketball team will be competing in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1985. The Ramblers’ opponent will be the University of Nevada Wolf Pack.
The Wolf Pack is 29-7 this season and received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament after losing to San Diego State University in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference (MWC) Championship.
With their canine-themed mascots, both the Ramblers and Wolf Pack have had special runs to the Sweet 16 this year. The Ramblers have beaten the University of Miami (Fla.) and the University of Tennessee on last second shots.
