ATLANTA — Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt knew she was going have to rip up one of the two N.C.A.A tournament brackets she filled out after her beloved Loyola-Chicago Ramblers faced Nevada here Thursday. Before Sister Jean, the 98-year-old nun and team chaplain, surged to Kardashian-level fame on social media — albeit chaste and devout — she served both as Loyola’s divine inspiration and as a scout who crafted detailed basketball reports that even Mike Krzyzewski would love.
Loyola’s 69-68 victory over Nevada here on Thursday ensured that Sister Jean would get to rip up the right bracket, which actually was the wrong one.
