When Loyola men’s basketball head coach Porter Moser took over the program in 2011, Loyola had three winning seasons since making the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament in 1985.
Now, after 33 years, the Ramblers are headed back to the big dance.
Loyola (28-5, 15-3) secured an NCAA tournament berth with a 65-49 win over Illinois State University March 4. The team will learn the date and location of its next game March 11.
“I’ve said the words ‘God has a plan’ about a million times in the last 10 years,” Moser said after the victory.
