The arrow is pointing up for Loyola, and not just for the the men’s basketball team, but for the school as a whole.
For the past two years, Loyola has been named a top-100 university in the country by U.S. News and World Report, and by all signs has every intention of continuing to move up that list.
All you have to do is look at Loyola’s list of “aspirational peers,” a list of schools Loyola wants to be compared to. Loyola’s current peers include other Jesuit schools in the midwest such as Marquette University and Creighton University.
