We hired the right Man to lead our program.
An emotional Coach Powell. Discusses his Father and how special it was to get his first Valley win in Bloomington-Normal.
Emotional postgame interview for Valparaiso head coach Roger Powell. He gets wins his first win in the MVC as a head coach. He does it at Illinois State, where his father was a star in the 1970's. Roger Powell Sr. was unable to make today's game in Normal to watch his son coach.
My school has been apart of two conferences in my time as a fan (3 for many veteran Valpo fans Mid-con) & I have to say
@MVCsports
is just different. We all root for each other’s success & it’s a community unlike any other conference has. It’s special

My neighbor just called me to congratulate me on the Valpo win. I asked him if he watched the game. He said no but he knew when he heard me screaming for joy they won hahaha.
#GoValpo
Love to see the fight from this
@ValpoBasketball
Team! Came back. I said it before & I’ll say it again. This young Team is learning to win
Valpo is a 7th least experienced Team in the nation. Many young key players.
It’s not about how you start the season. It’s about how finish
For Doug Elgin the LONG time
@MVCsports
commissioner, that Drake win over Wichita State must have felt really good in his final season as the Commish.
#MVCHoops
This story is just completely bizarre. Since when has it been a reporters job to spit out “propaganda” or the company line to have the right to cover a program? This is NOT a good look for the Bradley Braves, Bradley University or Brian Wardle...
#MVCHoops
Loyola making the Valley proud tonight. The Valley is MUCH STRONGER then the media prognosticators wanted to give us credit for. Best Mid-Major Conference in the Country.

"Valpo was an amazing place for me to grow not only as a basketball player, but as a man. It allowed me time to develop and improve for all 4 years. It helped shape me into who I am today & I am forever grateful for the opportunity"-Ryan Broekhoff
#GoValpo
It surprising to see all the transfers from Bradley. They had a pretty successful season and no coaching changes to my knowledge.
I understand this is a new era of College Basketball, but personally I don’t like the direction college basketball is headed…
@darrenrovell
Thursday night football should only be played by teams coming off the bye week. Teams don't have enough time to recover & prepare for these Thursday night games.
@unusual_whales
Congress is just as accountable for spending like drunken sailors the last few years as the Fed is for not raising rates sooner. Everyone has to take accountability.
Matt Lottich is a good Man, but I think it was time to move on. I’m looking forward to the future. I’m excited for the future!
Anxiously waiting to hear who

#GoValpo
I see cancel student loans is trending on twitter...I’m not Republican or a Democrat but I’m not for it. In life we need to take personal responsibility for our choices.
Worked my @$$ off in college with two jobs & made sacrifices to pay off my debt early. So all for nothing now?
Was it the prettiest game? No, but it was a survive and advance scenario. We clearly didn’t play our best game and we took a bad Evansville team’s best shot. 🤷♂️
Shock the world tomorrow. We owe Loyola one.

Need to shout out Kobe King. His final collegiate basketball game tonight. Really good student athlete and a great guy. I’m excited to see what the future holds for Kobe. He’s going successful in whatever career path he chooses.
Great article.
@TVBOren
I hated Kampe too when I was younger, but I’ve grown to appreciate him. College Basketball needs more characters like him.
Hoping we can start playing OU regularly again. Those were fun games.
@670TheScore
@BernsyHolmes
I didn’t see anything wrong with what they were saying. There are flaws to his game. They were praising Bagent because his path to the NFL is unlikely and great.
The bar of expectations/production is completely different for 11th overall pick is much higher than a undeafted rook
An important win for Valpo. First win in the Valley this season, but these young guys experienced stemming the ISU run late when momentum shifted to ISU.
Valpo has 8 straight wins over the Redbirds.
Let’s build on this!

@ValpoWBB
has a freshman named Bryce Blood. Quite possibly the most badass name in CBB and she can ball. 13 points & 13 rebounds in her Valpo debut.
#GoValpo
I’m happy this Tourney provided the opportunity to show the national audience and the pundits that Mid-Majors CAN compete with “high” majors. So many lazy narratives that get baked into people’s preconceived notions of who can & can’t compete on the court
Greatness is everywhere
Bryce is one of the most underrated coaches in the country.
Most pundits can’t look passed his final season at Vandy where the Team was riddled with injuries.
He’s a great coach and even better person.
It’s a weird feeling watching this Fox halftime crew: Brady Quinn, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, & Bob Stoops. These were the faces of College Football when I first stated watching & paying attention to College Football. A weird feeling now seeing them older and now CBB analysts.
That was such a cool finish with Deion Lavender sealing the deal for Valpo against his former team! Really happy for him. You could tell this game really meant a lot to him.

New Rule: Every time a Valpo player fouls a guy beyond the 3 point line you put a dollar in the jar. By the end of the season we may have enough to fund ARC renovations.
After tonights win against the Drake Bulldogs,

@ValpoU
need me to start a GoFundMe page for them to hire a graphic design firm…?
I wouldn’t be so harsh if I didn’t care & it wasn’t important. Don’t sweat the small stuff but logos are important & matter. Do it right the first time.
The game came down to the final seconds. Congrats to the MSU Bears. Good game. I'll have you guys marked on our calendar next season. Not the outcome
@ValpoBasketball
fans were hoping for but our guys never gave up and fought till the very end.

I’m see a lot of positive reception to the logo on the left compared to the other logos that the University released.
I sincerely hope

Just a thought… Rather than invent iconography that alumni/fans need to learn, use something familiar.
Turn the Chapel into a lantern.
Develop a cohesive system around the lantern which could includes a figure holding the lantern as well as a distinctive V (or VU) monogram.
The CIA may not be able to use waterboarding anymore, but they can just force terrorists to watch The Lottich Half Court Offense because it’s pretty close to “torture”…
If I told you Valpo would go 3-1 without Ryan Fazekas the last 4 games & Bakari would be sick for one of those games, we’d all be thrilled. Heck if I told you we would start conf play 5-1 I’d think you were crazy. It’s amazing how this team came together & started playing so well
@barstoolchicago
I like and respect Akiem but wow did he overreact about much to do about nothing, especially considering it came from Tommy Waddle.
Dude seriously needs to lighten up....
Purdue,
Can’t express enough how grateful I am for these last four years. The good times and the bad, that has molded me into the man I am today. This University will be a part of me and will travel with me everywhere I go.
Forever and always.
Love,
