A bummer of a video surfaced this week of a few Loyola men’s basketball players completely missing Sister Jean, the school’s beloved supporter and chaplain, as she extended a greeting as they headed for the tunnel.
Sister Jean gained national prominence during the 2018 men’s NCAA tournament when 11-seeded Loyola made the Final Four on an unforgettable Cinderella run.
Even at 105, she still makes it out to cheer for the Ramblers. However, this viral moment sparked lots of surprise, as it looked like Sister Jean was left in the cold as she tried to give the team some love after its Tuesday home win over Eastern Michigan.
If you really look hard, you can see in the brief snippet that one player does greet Sister Jean as they’re headed to the tunnel and the two who don’t greet her are distracted by something and seem to unintentionally miss her entirely.
Nobody likes seeing Sister Jean left hanging, but this really isn’t a big deal. We’re pretty confident in saying nobody on Loyola’s men’s basketball team was intentionally trying to ignore her. As you were.
Why’d they do Sister Jean like that? 💔 pic.twitter.com/UcPnyE0OAp
