ATLANTA — As he left the court Thursday, Loyola-Chicago guard Clayton Custer stopped to greet the Ramblers’ chaplain.
“Sister Jean,” Custer said to 98-year-old nun Jean Dolores Schmidt, “we broke your bracket.”
Sister Jean, who scouts every one of the Ramblers’ opponents, knows her hoops. But she made a mistake when she penciled in Loyola-Chicago for a loss in the Sweet 16. For the third time in this NCAA tournament, the 11th-seeded Ramblers hit a huge shot in the final seconds. This one was a three-pointer from the corner by guard Marques Townes to lift Loyola-Chicago to a 69-68 win against No.
