SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers know they will not keep advancing simply because they’re a nice story.
Center Cameron Krutwig says the team is wary of falling into what he calls “The Cinderella Trap.”
“I don’t think we’re going to fall into the Cinderella Trap, where we just walk out there and something magical is going to happen, and we’re going to win,” he says. “We’re going to have to go out and play well and execute.”
Loyola-Chicago is the fourth 11 seed in the history of the tournament to advance to the Final Four. The previous three — LSU (1986), George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) have all lost in the national semifinal.
Loyola-Chicago plays Michigan Saturday night in San Antonio.
