Michigan junior guard Charles Matthews has apparently stayed off of the internet since the NCAA Tournament began.
With a win over Florida State on Saturday night, the Wolverines punched their ticket to the Final Four, where they will take on Cinderella story Loyola Chicago. Of course, the story within the story has been 98-year-old team chaplain Sister Jean, who has captured the hearts of America with her dedication to the Ramblers and knowledge of college basketball. And Matthews apparently has no idea who she is.

Either Matthews is trying to downplay the narrative, or he may just be the most focused player in the entire tournament field.
Sister Jean has been the gift that keeps on giving all throughout March Madness — just ask the company that sold a ridiculous amount of bobbleheads depicting the 98-year-old in a single day. Her faith in the team has led some to believe that divine intervention is carrying Loyola Chicago through the tournament, especially when you see some of the bounces the Ramblers have gotten.
If Matthews truly doesn’t know who Sister Jean is, he’s about to find out.
