ATLANTA -- It was easy to get swept up in the emotion of Loyola-Chicago's win over Kansas State on Saturday night to advance to the Final Four. There was the heartwarming national phenomenon Sister Jean in her wheelchair on the baseline. There was Porter Moser, as proud as any coach on the planet, jumping over press row to hug his family in the stands. There were even a few members of the 1963 national championship team -- the last from the small Jesuit college on the shore of Lake Michigan to make it this far in the tournament -- standing at midcourt in a daze of joy and disbelief.
