Being wrong sucks.
A few weeks back, I wrote the Loyola men’s basketball team had a chance to take over Chicago because the three professional teams in season — the Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks — stink. At the end, I said University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) could also help lift things up.
What I didn’t expect was DePaul University to skyrocket to the top.
In the four weeks since that column ran, Loyola has struggled to a 5-4 record and UIC has fallen to 3-6. Talk about an air-ball.
DePaul, meanwhile, is 8-0 after defeating University of Minnesota on the road Nov.
