After a video showing the Loyola Chicago men's basketball team seemingly overlooking their beloved chaplain, Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, went viral, the team has made amends. The initial video depicted players walking past Sister Jean as she extended her hand for a celebratory fist bump following a recent victory. This sparked disappointment among fans online, with some criticizing the players for the perceived slight.

In a heartwarming response, the team posted a video on social media showcasing their appreciation for Sister Jean. The video shows the players individually greeting Sister Jean with fist bumps and hugs after a practice session. Each player can be heard expressing their gratitude, saying, "Appreciate you, Sister Jean." This gesture seems to be a direct response to the initial incident and a clear effort to show their respect and affection for the team's centenarian chaplain. The initial video of the apparent snub had drawn considerable attention and criticism on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where fans expressed their disapproval. The Ramblers' recent win against Eastern Michigan marked their seventh consecutive victory, maintaining their undefeated streak.
