Sister Jean is having the time of her life after Loyola Chicago’s Elite Eight win

Party on, Sister Jean!

Loyola Chicago beat — nay, destroyed — Kansas State 78-62 to nab a spot in the Final Four. And as you might imagine, their fearless leader and biggest fan Sister Jean was preeeetty excited.

Yessssss! Even if, for some horrible reason, you’re not a Loyola Chicago fan now — it’s impossible not to break out in a grin watching that video.

And the team was excited for Sister Jean too, even giving her a piece of the net!

But it wasn’t all celebrating — Sister Jean also had to get to work, creating a new bracket to replace the one that had Loyola losing in the Sweet 16, which was quite possibly the only think Sister Jean has ever done wrong.

“Young man said to me the other day: ‘Sister Jean, we broke your bracket.’ I said ‘keep breaking it! That’s OK with me,’” she told reporters after the game — so obviously she wasn’t too torn up about the busted bracket.

And let’s not forget that Sister Jean WAS ROCKING A BACKWARDS HAT DURING THE GAME.

Why? First of all, this is Sister Jean we’re talking about, so the only needed answer is “Why not?”

But, of course, the illustrious nun had answer prepared:

Incredible. Even at 98, Sister Jean knows all the hottest trends.

The Ramblers have been incredible to watch all tournament, and Sister Jean has only added to the fun. So as Loyola approaches the Final Four — and maybe a national championship — Sister Jean has a lot to be happy about.

And thanks to her, so do we.
