Their 2018 run had all Chicagoans (except maybe DePaul MBB fans) cheering on the team. It was their what outsiders thought was a cinderella run, however for fans we knew this team was something special.
This 2021 entry into the NCAA Tournament has a bit of a different feel, we are highly ranked on both NCAA NET and KenPom tools and we have been AP25 ranked for the past few weeks (currently sitting at #18). In 2018, we received no such accolades, other than a end of NCAA tournament ranking of 7th in the nation.
No matter what happens, I’m super proud of this squad and am very proud of being an Alum, fan and season ticket holder. Go ‘Blers!
