Is this the weakest regional final ever? Well, probably but that would require some research that I’m not doing today. It is the first time a 9 has ever played an 11 so that tells us just about all we need to know.
Kansas State sure has that South Carolina vibe about them. It’s not a great analogy, KSU is better on offense but they’ve been defensively suffocating. While this is the case, Loyola already managed a real good defensive squad in Tennessee. Kansas State won’t intimidate them.
This game is pretty much a toss up. Loyola is 34th in KenPom and Kansas State is 36th. Bruce Weber is a Milwaukee guy. Porter Moser is a Majerus guy. Illinois fired Weber and won’t play Loyola. Flip a coin.
The Pick: Loyola 58 Kansas State 57
