Couldn’t be more proud for the former bobcat for wanting more and receiving it! Never allow people to tell you what you can’t do, show them what you can. Good luck! Go Blue.

I am very happy that he will be playing in national title game, something very few D1 players get to do. good luck jaaron!

Yes, in fact we've benefited from Wolverines turned Bobcats.

I admit, I didn't watch either game on Saturday but was tracking the Michigan score on my phone. It seemed Jaaron's three was sort of the beginning of the Michigan run that overtook Loyola. I think they were down 9 when he made his three, and a run followed that won the game for the Blue.

Michigan came back by really stepping up their defense and Loyola making a lot of mistakes because of it . Loyola was also having all kinds of problems hitting threes.

Did he receive more though? His team certainly received more but I'm not sure if he had a chance to redo it he would. He might still choose to transfer to a bigger program but I'm guessing he was probably regretting the decision most of the season. He didn't transfer to Michigan to ride the pine and unless he has a really good game tonight he actually may have hurt his pro prospects with the move.

Your right, losing in the first round of the mac tournament is better than winning the big ten tournament and playing in the national championship game.

Your right, losing in the first round of the mac tournament is better than winning the big ten tournament and playing in the national championship game. The question is what he would have done for himself. I believe he would have been MAC Player of the Year this season, and showcasing himself that way would certainly have drawn more scouting attention than averaging 5 minutes and sitting out about every other game at UM. He can polish his ring all he wants, but his pro prospects certainly aren't better after a season on the bench than they would have been starring for OU.

And some of us can speculate about it all at want, but we're not in his shoes, haven't put in his work, and don't have his ring. Time to move on.

He almost rode the pine to a title. For some of us this was a moral runner up. We had a guy that left our team and went to the National Championship. Unlike Grunkemeyer leaving, we embraced this, this was our chance. If the announcer’s would have mentioned Ohio, they would have popped a bottle. If they would have mentioned Saul’s name, the moral seekers will have danced in the street. If Michigan would have won, we would have said they could not do it without Ohio. The Jaaron saga is now over, I wish he could have won one for himself and some of us. I hope he gets the same opportunity to play professionally. It is OUr time now, we can be Loyola, dream big, Go Cats Last Edited: 4/3/2018 12:46:55 AM by allen Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.
