It being March means that one of everyone’s favorite NCAA Tournament characters, Sister Jean, is back in the spotlight.
As the Loyola-Chicago Men got set to take on Saint Joseph’s Hawks in the opening round of the Atlantic-10 tournament, their usual special guest had to find a way to make it to the game. Even with it being a down year for the 10-21 Ramblers, there was clearly just no way Sister Jean would miss this affair.
So, before the proceedings, Sister took a comfortable private plane. Predictably, she looked so happy about the opportunity to see her school compete in March again.

Aww. We can talk about the buzzer-beaters and ridiculous finishes, but I, for one, appreciate cherished moments like this. People like Sister Jean, who enjoy college basketball, love their school, and want to do anything to support it.
Loyola-Chicago would go on to 72-67. But I don’t think the score really mattered here.
