The No. 10 Loyola-Chicago Ramblers’s number one fan, Sister Jean, gave a powerful pep talk to her team ahead of their round one matchup against No. 7 Ohio State on Friday.
Sister Jean has been in this position before, back in 2018 when the Ramblers reached the Final Four. She wore a balloon red and yellow flower corsage that year, and she was sporting her iconic accessory again on Friday.
“Good gracious God, we need your help today, but we know that we can beat those Buckeyes,” her pep talk began.
The religious sister for Loyola University in Chicago has traveled with the team the past two years even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
