How It Works

63–62R2
About This Game
This was defensive suffocation distilled into 40 minutes. Combining for 60 missed shots, Loyola Chicago and Tennessee produced a grind where possession counted more than pace. The Volunteers shot efficiently—25 field goals to the Ramblers' 22—yet found themselves on the wrong side of a one-point final. Neither offense flourished in this defensive chess match; both teams struggled to break through with consistent scoring.
The deciding factor: free throws. Loyola converted 11 free throws to Tennessee's 3, an 8-point differential that proved decisive. With just 3.6 seconds remaining, Clayton Custer's jumper provided another improbable answer to Loyola's prayers. The 11th seed's 31 rebounds showcased their control of the glass, while their precision at the line reflected discipline under pressure. Tennessee's 29 rebounds and 25 field goals weren't enough; Loyola's clutch execution won the day 63-62. This tournament upset, secured by inches and executed by a team that refused to fade, is now preserved play-by-play on custom Gameprint wall art, capturing every defensive possession and final-second heroic.
