The 2017-18 NCAA Final Four is set. Cinderella has found a shoe that fits, as the Loyola Chicago Ramblers have defied the odds and have made a run all the way to the final weekend. Since so many players are playing one-and-done for schools like Duke, North Carolina and Kentucky, it has allowed some of the mid-major teams to sneak into the Final Four, Loyola being the latest. Since 2010, Gonzaga, Wichita State, and Butler twice have all made it to the Final Four, and three of the four won to get to the Championship game. Loyola is a great shooting team, defends very well, and assists on a lot of hoops. Their five games vs. Power 5 Conference teams show their stats not dropping off. They are 24-1 when both Custer and Richardson play, and will be a tough out for a Michigan team that is playing well, but Loyola is certainly on their level. Grb the points and dance with Cinderella for this one. Take the Ramblers.
