Sister Jean: LEGO creates dunking version of Loyola-Chicago's biggest fan
The most celebrated fan in this year's edition of March Madness has to be Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, the 98-year-old fan of the upstart Loyola-Chicago Ramblers.
She's been interviewed, photographed and has starred on social media ... and now, immortalized with her own LEGO.
Master model builder Greg Nuse has created a Sister Jean mini-figure that's now on display at LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Chicago.
And Sister Jean can dunk.

The 11th-seeded Ramblers play seventh-seeded Nevada in the Sweet 16 tonight.
Sister Jean, who is being interviewed by Nevada coach Eric Musselman's daughter before the game, prays for the team before tip-off and even emails players motivational takeaways.
The display features a court with Sister Jean, Loyola-Chicago players, a grandstand with fans and the words 'Go Loyola' in the backdrop. Sister Jean's wheelchair also can be seen near the stands, with a basketball in the seat.
