SAN ANTONIO -- Loyola-Chicago's lovable 98-year-old team chaplain has been the face of the Ramblers and their magical NCAA Tournament run that came to an end on Saturday night. Unfortunately, Sister Jean had to miss the end of the run.
With the game out of reach for Loyola after Michigan took a commanding eight-point lead late in the second half, Sister Jean left the building from her prominent first row post -- and did not return.

The Ramblers, who made a magical run in the NCAA Tournament to the Final Four as a No. 11 seed, saw their season come to an end Saturday, as No. 3 seed Michigan ousted them 69-57.
The team chaplain appears to be fine, though, as she was seen consoling Ramblers players in the tunnel after the game.
BVNW Grads Clayton Custer and Ben Richardson just walked off the court together for the final time. Sister Jean was there too. Amazing what this kids have accomplished. Heartbreaking end to an incredible story. @kmbc pic.twitter.com/kTjVOTYTvn

Hopefully this isn't the last we've seen of her.
