I thought Loyola was suppose to be a good team this year and that tomorrow's game would be a challenge. Then I found out that our opponent is Loyola Md and that they are a Miss Valley State pushover. So this is pretty much just going to be a scrimmage.

What kind of basketball fan doesn't know the difference between Loyola Chicago and Loyola (MD)? Anyway, give Loyola MD some credit; they aren't a great team, but they're not Miss Valley State bad. And if you recall, a much worse Chicago State team nearly took us to the wire last December.

I'm totally fine with the first regular season game being against a cupcake (especially without an exhibition game). We've proven in the past we can lose to cupcakes too.

So ALL the players will see pt. The opener is exciting just to see NU play.

Uh, Mississippi Valley state is ranked LAST (#351) in KenPom. Every team is better than them; Loyola Maryland is nearly 100 spots higher at #257. We should win to be certain, but this is nowhere near the cakewalk MVSU would be.
