No matter how cheaply Loyola won, however, the final score still reads 11-10. Loyola may not have deserved to win, but that does not matter.
"[After the game] it was pretty brutal," Chelius said. "Everyone was pretty down."

Now the Crimson must look forward, as a four game homestand comes up. The toughest team of the four will undoubtedly be Maryland, who earned a trip last season to the NCAA Tournament, of which only four teams are invited.
"The whole season we've been sort of struggling," Chelius said. "Now we pretty much have to win the rest of our games to make the tournament."
