She then explained the rationale behind her opinion, per Tom Martin of KCTV5:

Sister Jean also addressed the comments by Jalen Rose's 100-year-old grandmother, Mary Belle Hicks, that the No. 3 Wolverines would beat the No. 11 Ramblers.

Rose, who played collegiately at Michigan, posted the following video on Instagram of his grandma's bold prediction:

If Loyola-Chicago can pull off another upset, it will be the first No. 11 seed to ever reach the national championship game in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
