Last Night's Game in the ARC - Valparaiso University Crusaders vs. Indiana Wesleyan Wilcats was off to a sluggish 1st half for Valpo...perhaps due to having returned from playing the #1 Team in the country (North Carolina-Chapel Hill) Saturday nite. This was the 4th straight year that the mid-major Crusaders have played a #1 Ranked Team. To start the 2nd half, Coach Homer Drew took drastic measures in benching 4 of the 5 starters and what half-time decision it was....Valpo went on a 41 to 8 run to start the second half and NEVER looked back - it was without a doubt the most intense defensive stand I personally have ever seen.
Valpo has now won 13 straight games at the ARC and now it is conference play and what a place to start their first year in the Horizon League - 135 miles away in Indianapolis Indiana at the famous and well known Hinkle Field-house to take in their in-state Rival the 13th Ranked Butler Bulldogs behind their All American guard A.J. Graves...This game slated for Saturday January 5, 2008 @ 2pm - is sold out and should become quickly one of the most heated rivalries in College Basketball ! Hinkle Field-house is known not only for the Bulldogs but the filming of the movie "Hoosiers".. From my experiences at this stadium, I can tell you it is gonna be a LOUD and Hostile environment for the Crusaders..But, IF they can keep the same defense intensity and scoring barrage they showed last night - watch out College Basketball fans...you may be watching one the the biggest upsets this year in college basketball!
