The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are the first double-digit seed to make it to the Sweet 16 after their second upset win in three days.
After knocking off No. 6 Miami on Thursday afternoon in dramatic fashion, the 11-seed Ramblers kept rolling on Saturday taking down No. 3 Tennessee with a dramatic last-second win thanks to another clutch shot when trailing late.
For a while, this one wasn’t as dramatic as their opening-round win, as they held a decent lead throughout much of the second half pulling well ahead in what had been a back and forth game with this three from Lucas Williamson.

What?! Plenty of double digit seeds have made it to the sweet sixteen. That is blatantly false.
Five seconds of googling revealed this: “In 28 of the past 30 seasons, when the NCAA Tournament’s been at 64 or more teams, at least one double-digit seed has busted through the seed ceiling and reached the second weekend. In fact, in most years, it’s at least two 10-plus seeds that break on through to the other side.” Ryan Nagelhout is a garbage writer.
Hold up — I think he meant for this tournament, not in history. The headline was ambiguously worded.
Yeah, you’re right. Nagelhout’s still a bum, though.
Saw this yesterday and thought about saying this. But figured he meant this tournament but left the sloppy headline for max clicks, like when Uproxx reported Dylan Roof’s sister brought guns to school.
did she not? i read somewhere else that she did. and also drugs.
@DEVO knife, pepper spray, and some pot. Oh, she’s absolutely nuts and the whole family is horrific, but the point is something something journalistic integrity.
