St. Ignatius of Loyola (probably sad right now), by the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens.I wouldn't want to say there is weeping today in the Jesuit section of heaven, but perhaps disappointment, as both Gonzaga and Georgetown have lost and left the NCAA tournament. Since I had Gonzaga winning the final, my bracket, already weak after the first round, is now officially shot all to hell. Alas.
On the other hand, the Augustinians are still in the game. Down by one point and with three seconds to go, Villanova came back to win after a goaltending call against BC's Sean Williams, who should probably not return directly to Boston. So our last hope for a title is with the Augustinians of Villanova. Let's hope they are not so Augustinian that they don't have the free will to make it all the way to the finals. Go Wildcats.
St. Augustine (still in a good mood) from a medieval manuscript.

Can't help thinking the Just War theory has something to do with the Augustinians hanging in.
Hmmm... I see a possible dissertation topic, if mine doesn't pan out: theology and basketball: Augustinian basketball, Domincian basketball, Jesuit basketball...
I'm just glad that the Methodists are gone. My two favorites teams are Kentucky, and whoever beats Duke.
