Twitter Erupts as Loyola-Chicago, Sister Jean Exit NCAA Tournament vs. Michigan

On Saturday night, the 11th-seeded Loyola-Chicago Ramblers' incredible tournament run came to an end with a 69-57 loss to the Michigan Wolverines in the men's Final Four at the Alamodome.

Loyola-Chicago controlled much of the game, holding a double-digit lead in the second half. However, Michigan's Moe Wagner (24 points and 15 rebounds) led his team to its second championship game appearance in five years.

It was a run that nobody will soon forget. Taking out Miami, Tennessee, Nevada and Kansas State in the span of nine days to reach the program's second Final Four is no small feat. And although the season ended with a loss, it was a good showing in the Final Four. The squad made Loyola-Chicago fans everywhere proud.

The Ramblers may not have made an early exit at the 2018 NCAA tournament, but the same can't be said about Sister Jean. As the end result became clear, the 98-year-old team chaplain decided to leave the scene before the final buzzer sounded:

After the game, Wolverines freshman Jordan Poole made sure to track down Sister Jean for an awesome display of sportsmanship, as Chase Shannon of KAKE captured:

Of course, the internet was ready for a Loyola-Chicago loss, for better or worse:

Cinderella's time at the Big Dance is over, and with that, so is Sister Jean's.
