Loyola Ramblers

The Loyola Ramblers are the varsity sports teams of Loyola University Chicago. Most teams compete in the Horizon League of the NCAA (Division I).

Loyola's 1962-63 men's basketball team, led by coach George Ireland, won the 1963 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament by defeating the University of Cincinnati 60-58 in the title game. Loyola is the only school in Illinois that has ever won an NCAA basketball championship. Moreover, Loyola made it to the finals of the NIT in 1939 and 1949 and the sweet sixteen of the 1964 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament and 1985 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.

Notable athletes from Loyola include middle-distance runner Tom O'Hara and basketball players Mike Novak, Jerry Harkness, Les Hunter, Alfredrick Hughes, LaRue Martin, and Blake Schilb.
