College basketball Fans aren’t too happy with Loyola Chicago men’s basketball after players snubbed team chaplain Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt following their dominant win over Eastern Michigan on Tuesday night.
The Ramblers remained undefeated with a 76-54 win over the Eagles at home, but fans on social media were unimpressed after a viral video showed several players walking right past beloved Sister Jean as they left the field.

Sister Jean, who turned 105 on August 21, sat in a wheelchair with her fist raised just in front of the tunnel. But as some on social media noted, the players left her “hanging.”
“How can you leave Sister Jean hanging like that?!?” Barstool personality Dan Katz, known as “Big Cat,” said in a post on X.
“There is one rule in college basketball that must be followed: you NEVER ignore Sister Jean,” someone else wrote online.

“I know she probably didn’t care but that hurts my feelings,” another post read.
Sister Jean began her career at Loyola Chicago in 1991 as an academic advisor, but she is best known for her role as team chaplain, which she began a few years later in 1994. Since then, she has become a household name not only in Chicago, but to all college basketball fans.
