Three blue bloods, a miracle and the Final Four no one saw coming

What happens when a nun, her nouveau team and three blue bloods make their way to the Final Four in San Antonio?

We all had an idea Villanova would be here. Kansas, too. Michigan looked like a good bet after an impressive Big Ten tournament championship run.

But Loyola-Chicago has captured the NCAA tournament with a spirit only an underdog championed by a 98-year-old team chaplain could, an irresistible story that makes the Ramblers the rooting favorite for anyone without a team in the mix.
