“Nobody expected me to be here at 30,” Loyola head coach Drew Valentine said after leading his team to an MVC Championship in his first year at the helm. “I did, sorry.”
As Valentine stepped off the court for the last time in the 2021-22 season, he wasn’t just leaving behind a season cut short by a first round March Madness loss. He was finishing as Loyola’s only men’s basketball coach to make it to the NCAA Tournament in their first year and the winningest first-year men’s basketball coach in program history.
