Bracket projection: Loyola-Chicago

The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers have returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 33 years. The Missouri Valley Conference regular season and conference tournament champions boast a 28-5 record this season. That record includes a win at Florida, one of the best victories by any mid-major club this season. That win will be a blueprint for the upsets the Ramblers will attempt to pull off in the NCAA tournament. With the way this team shoots and defends, are those upsets within reach?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
