Senior guard Bruno Skokna said he’s had a winning mentality from the beginning of his basketball career. That mentality is something that translated to his time on the Loyola men’s basketball team.
One of the first conversations he had with head coach Porter Moser after committing, before he moved from his hometown of Zagreb, Croatia, was about March Madness.
“He said, ‘We’re going to go to the NCAA tournament,’” Moser said.
Going to the NCAA Tournament was something that seemed unlikely. Two years later in Skokna’s sophomore year, that sentiment became a reality when Loyola advanced to the NCAA Tournament Final Four in 2018.
