The X-Factor: Another matchup where the teams did not meet at all in 2010. Neither team has a player with state tournament experience, so getting the nerves out of the system early could be a big factor for the team that is most ready to deal with the pressure of a postseason appearance on the grand stage.

Mundelein (Adam Turkula, Brandon Horsch, Frank Lukacs, Jeff Anderson, Nick Mandas, Sean Falconer)

Loyola (Charlie Dowdle, Connery Brennan, Connor Murphy, Jimmy Nickele, Pat Stein, Steve Freedman)
