Loyola of Chicago and Oregon State have played once, in Chicago during the 1927-28 season, a 29-19 Loyola of Chicago victory. Bob Hager was the head coach of the Beavers. Over the summer, Hager was fired and replaced with the freshman coach, Slats Gill.
Loyola of Chicago and Oregon State each have two Final Four appearances. Oregon State appeared in the 1949 Final Four, and Illinois-Chicago appeared in the 2018 Final Four.
The two, however, also each appeared in the 1963 Final Four. Duke and Loyola-Chicago played for the championship of the East and Cincinnati and Oregon State played for the championship of the West. And all of that is confusing, because Loyola-Chicago is further west than Cincinnati. If they had each won, they would have played in the NCAA Championship Game. If they had each lost, they would have played in the NCAA 3rd Place Game. Instead, the two teams who were basically the home teams in Lexington (Cincinnati and Loyola of Chicago) beat the two road teams (Duke and Oregon State). Loyola of Chicago defeated Cincinnati by two to win a National Championship. Duke beat Oregon State in the third place game.
