After watching football and volleyball see some key wins, hopefully basketball can keep the good times rolling.
Let's go! Valpo is 6.5-point favorites in Vegas. Let's get another one!
Jesus the amount of open looks and good shots that just turn up dry is starting to get super painful. Cannot sustain if you cannot get points off of good shots.
WE FINALLY HAVE A 3 POINT SHOOTER VALPO FANS.
I’m not sure that besides Darius that the starters are going to see the floor. 2nd unit has been playing awesome! They got the lead in the first half too!
Really strong win for a team that just needed one. Hopefully this level of 3 point shooting is here to stay. The bench continues to pull through for this roster which is certainly much deeper than last year.
Very encouraging second half performance to say the least. Great to see such depth. Schmidt and McNair looked fantastic and Sepp continues to be the unsung hero of this team. Gotta keep this going for the two games we got the rest of the week.
A good win, though a game that is hard to define. Some terrific performances, especially by Schmidt, McNair, and Sepp. However, all came off the bench. Not so stellar stats for some of the starters, including Cooper Schwieger and Ellis, who were only 2-12 between them.
Also, despite a blowout victory by nearly 30 points, the team shooting percentages were only #39% from the field (less than E. Illinois) and 32% from the 3-point line, thanks to a good second half of 50% on both. This comes despite playing at home against a team at #311 on the Net ranking. On the other hand, this Valpo squad refreshingly seems to be proving its ability at the free throw line with another remarkable effort (23-25).
I am still looking for the complete team to excel in a game, hopefully against N. Illinois (#298 Net Ranking), so that Valpo will be prepared to play well against DePaul.
This was a very good win for Valpo and one that answered some questions about the depth of this team. Good things happen with we hit the 3.
This is the largest margin of victory over a D1 opponent since….?
That was great to see! The first half was a bit frustrating, as it felt like Valpo should have been up more with as many offensive rebounds as it snatched. But, beggars can't be choosy, and we've all been begging for a comfortable win like this. I'm eager to see how Valpo stacks up with DePaul on Friday. An encouraging week for the brown and gold!
