Sister Jean is back at March Madness rooting for Loyola again and everyone was so excited to see her

Sister Jean is back and our hearts are warm.

There are very few people out there who can legitimately claim to be super fans of whatever it is they root for.

Sister Jean is absolutely one of those people. The 102-year-old chaplain captured the hearts of college basketball fans everywhere four years ago when she showed up in the crowd rooting for Loyola during their March Madness run.

Four years later, she’s still here. And not only is she rooting for the Ramblers in their tournament debut, but she also led the pregame huddle for them as well.

Sister Jean said a prayer for her guys before the game started and wished them luck.

What a moment. Sister really had a scouting report ready in her prayer with those boys.

“Good, gracious God. We need your help today. But I know we can beat those Buckeyes. I noticed as they practiced out there, they make a lot of attempts at 3’s. Somebody has to be under the basket each time so we can rush down, do a break and get the ball into the basket.” 

Listen. Are we sure it’s Sister Jean and not coach Jean? Because it sounds to me like she’s giving the Ramblers a little bit of game.

That’s some pretty amazing stuff. And it’s great that at 102 years old, Jean still comes to the games to cheer her favorite squad on. That’s real fandom right there. We can all appreciate that.

College basketball fans absolutely loved this.
