Valpo is going up against a program that hired an established experienced coach similar to Holtzman at DePaul. Guy was a national champion powerhouse coach at NW Missouri State Division II and he has the best player in the conference. Powell is still learning the ropes and our guys don't have established chemistry on offense yet. To much one on one from Ellis/Monegro. Also, our three point shooting is pretty bad. Doubt we will shoot this bad all year, but right now.....jesh! Drake wins by 20-25 unless we shoot lights out and or we figure out how to win 50/50 balls, rebound better.
Over under 2,000 fans at the game?
I just checked available seating charts and it doesn't look good for an over on fans. Section D sales were good for Drake when they had several northwest Indiana players but that connection appears to have been broken. I'd think that many of us will show to see the best team in the league test our progress but even if their fans show up I'd cap the crowd guess at under 2000.Valpo is going up against a program that hired an established experienced coach similar to Holtzman at DePaul.

Who will beat us most convincingly? Drake or Ohio St? Either way we HAVE to win against both Central and Western Michigan.
I remember our home game against Drake in 2018-19 drew a big crowd -- 4,160. Saturday night with a snowstorm right around gametime.
That Drake team did have 4-5 local players.
