No. 11 seed Loyola’s first round matchup in the NCAA tournament against No. 6 seed Miami may have taken place in Dallas Thursday afternoon, but on Loyola’s Lake Shore campus, Rambler spirit was in full effect to witness the 64-62 Loyola victory.
Watch parties were set up around campus to cheer on Loyola in its first NCAA tournament appearance since 1985. When senior forward Donte Ingram buried the game-winning triple with 0.3 seconds left, those watch parties erupted into scenes of hysteria.
This was the scene in the Damen Student Center after Ingram hit the buzzer-beater.
