Loyola men’s basketball Chaplain Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, BVM, is set to head down to March Madness to see the Ramblers match up in the first round with Georgia Institute of Technology March 19 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

She told Phoenix reporters she’s “very grateful.”

The 101-year-old said she petitioned to go to March Madness after not being able to attend the Arch Madness conference tournament in St. Louis due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Sister Jean said she told school administrators she was like the widowed woman in Luke 18:1-8’s Parable of the Unjust Judge.
