Is it my fuzzy screen or is the student section really full? Good to see it. Better late on the bandwagon than never.

I'd be ok if Cory never takes a 3 again.

Offensively Valpo outlasted the Titans. It didn't look too good defensively stopping Detroit at the end of the game but the Crusaders made enough FT's and plays to outlast Detroit. What a game from Ryan Broekhoff. It was his passing game that made such a huge difference in this one. Kenney, Wood and Johnson played well also.

Listened to a bit of the UWM-Loyola game in the car and only got home in time to see the final 17 seconds of the Valpo game. Oh well ... I think they play better when I'm not watching anyways.
All alone in first place? Gotta like that at this point of the season. Wish it weren't just a half game edge ... so much basketball left to be played. Just keep winning!

Say what you will, Valpo just beat a VERY good Detroit team. Rowdy is a stud, Brandon is a stud and the rest of the guys are just stars!! Great game from Cory and Matt particularly.
Valpo is for real!! Here we come!!

I don't consider it a half game lead. I think of it as us 1 game up in the loss column. If we win out, we win first.

Just got home. This was a very entertaining game to watch. Both teams really came to play - great energy throughout, lots of runs, even the refs had a good night IMO. McCallum is definitely the real deal. He is going to be a stud in this league for a long time. Look out for Detroit next year for sure. Anyway, great win for the Crusaders! Oh, the post-game prayer at center court was a sight to behold. Everyone from both teams, interspersed, arm to arm, forming a solid circle. As they broke away, players on both teams hugging each other, shaking hands, wishing each other well. This was sportsmanship at its very best. Fans from both teams should be proud of these classy young guys.

A huge huge win for the team. This is one of our worst match ups personnel wise, a game that really scared me. Rowdy really started his mom's visit off with a BIG performance. Let's hope he keeps it up!

Say what you will, Valpo just beat a VERY good Detroit team. Can a team hovering around .500 in the Horizon be considered "VERY good"? What would they be ranked in the country right now, about 120th? Our standards for good/ very good/ great must just be quite different. They might pose matchup problems, but with a 14-13 record overall and 8-7 record in conference, clearly they have plenty of weaknesses.

Yes, Detroit does have some weaknesses but I don't think that the Titans showed many of them last night. I think that Valpo executed better on offense when it counted and Valpo did what it needed to beat a team that played "VERY" well last night despite their record. Okay half-empty guy?

The attendance was pretty mediocre last night for a team that's in 1st place. Granted the temperature was close to 0, but still... I'm hoping for a much bigger crowd tomorrow night.

Lots of boys high school games in the area last night as well, not only at Valpo High but also Kouts and other places. I'm sure that affected attendance somewhat. I heard the VHS game was very sparsely attended.
