Anonymous College Coach Thinks Loyola-Chicago Can ‘Beat Michigan’s Ass’

Yahoo’s Pete Thamel interviewed several anonymous coaches ahead of the Final Four and here’s what one coach said about those sleeping on Loyola-Chicago for Saturday’s matchup with Michigan:

Loyola can beat their asses. Everyone saying this is a mismatch is wrong. Loyola has a bunch of like pieces, which screws up Michigan’s offense. It’s going to be a defensive-type game, which means that anyone can win. Look at the teams Michigan feasted on: Texas A&M, Purdue, Michigan State and Nebraska in the Big Ten tournament. If you play big like those teams, they are going to annihilate you. If you switch and junk it up and play almost guerrilla-warfare coverage on defense, they’ll struggle to score. If you can switch, which Loyola does 1 through 4, this game will be close.
