Looks like Loyola had the ball, up 3, with about 5 seconds left in regulation....and still lost.

No. We were up 2 and Keke White was fouled. He made 1 of 2 from the line. Davis got the ball and drove the lane. We rebounded but somehow lost the ball. They kicked it out to a player who was damn near at half court. He tossed up a 3 and it went in.

Then, in OT, we were down 1 and had the ball for the last shot. Doyle tried to get fancy and had his pocket picked.

As has been mentioned on our board, this has to be one of the most demoralizing/demoralized teams in college basketball.

So, you were up 3 when you rebounded the Davis miss, right? That's up 3 with the ball, I think.

Either way, tough loss. As a Drake fan, I can definitely empathize with your fans.

It didn't appear that we every really had control of the ball then.

Loyola should go after Jim Les.

That gave me a good laugh. The league should vote on a rule to forbid former valley coaches from coaching in the league again if they were fired. Then they should ignore that rule and allow someone to hire Phelps.

But he can't coach against Drake the first year.
