I posted this in the NCAA bracket thread, but here it is again-
What an exciting game!
#11 seed Loyola upset #6 seed Miami on a long 3-pointer by Donte Ingram with 0.4 seconds left. Final score 64-62-
It was poetic justice, since Loyola was the victim of a no-call when Cameron Krutwig was obviously fouled on a rebound-putback attempt that would have given Loyola the lead with about 10 seconds left, and no foul was called. But Miami had a turnover and a missed free throw inside the final 23 seconds to allow Loyola to come from behind.
Loyola lead nearly the entire 1st half, but Miami tied it on a shot at the halftime buzzer 28-28. But then Miami quickly took the lead in the 2nd half and never trailed until Clayton Custer tied it 60-60 with a 3-point shot with 1:17 left. Miami would take a 62-60 lead on a jumper by senior Ja'Quan Newton, Loyola would close to 62-61 on a FT by Marques Townes, then came a great defensive steal by Lucas Williamson with 23 seconds left. Loyola didn't score on the possession which included the apparent foul on Krutwig that wasn't called. Loyola fouled Miami freshman star Lonnie Walker, who missed the FT, setting up Loyola's final possession with just 9 seconds left. Ingram's shot was from the top of the key, about 27 feet from the basket to give Loyola the 62-60 win.
Loyola's win is the first win so far by a lower seeded team.
Congrats to Loyola. They advance to play #3 seed Tennessee on Saturday. They were an easy winner earlier today over Wright State-
