SAN ANTONIO -- Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the face of Loyola-Chicago's miraculous run through the NCAA tournament, says the entire experience feels surreal.
"I think to myself, 'Oh my, don't let it go to your head,'" she said. "I haven't done that, nor has the team. The team, those young men are very humble."
The 98-year-old nun, international icon and Loyola-Chicago chaplain held a news conference at the Final Four on Good Friday that was so packed officials had to clear a path for her to enter. Outlets from around the country filled every seat, dozens of cameras were posted in the back of the room, and reporters lined the walls as she spoke.
