Give credit to Jimmy Patsos and the Loyola Greyhounds for their 72-67 win at Indiana last night. No matter how down the Hoosiers are, it is an impressive win for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference team.
It also hurts the Maryland Terrapins. Winning at Indiana, will be Maryland’s sole out of conference victory against a Major conference team. Losing to Loyola, will hurt the Hoosiers profile all season, and further diminish the win for the Terps.
This is further evidence that Maryland will have to do all of their work in conference to make the NCAA Tournament. With 10 wins, they would not have to worry about anything Selection Sunday.
Hopefully the Terps can convincingly beat William & Mary, and eventually see the Tribe win the Colonial Athletic Association. Their win over Wake Forest earlier this year, will help W&M’s resume.
Winning on the road against NC Greensboro will also be expected, but could add a road win that will help some as well.
