Former Michigan basketball star Jalen Rose's grandmother tells Sister Jean of Loyola-Chicago: 'It's over' in the Final Four
America's newest celebrity, thanks to the NCAA tournament, is Sister Jean.
The 98-year-old chaplain for the Loyola-Chicago basketball team, Jean Dolores-Schmidt has been everywhere. Dozens of cut-away shots during the games, "Good Morning America" and countless other interviews.
Heck, she even has her own bobble head and sneakers in the works.
Loyola-Chicago, the surprise team of the Final Four, takes on Michigan on Saturday (6:09 p.m., TBS). And while John Beilein is working on a defensive game plan for the Ramblers, one U-M supporter has Sister Jean covered.
Meet Mary Belle Hicks. She's the 100-year-old grandmother of Jalen Rose, one of the famed Fab Five members.
Rose made an Instagram post late Sunday of Hicks and a message for Sister Jean.
"Sister Jean, it's been a good ride. But it's over Saturday. Go Blue," Hicks said.
Let the world's nicest trash-talking battle begin!
