They won the regular-season title last season with a 14-4 record and lost to Detroit in the tournament final. … This is the second season for head coach Bryce Drew. … Broekhoff was the Horizon League Player of the Year last season, averaging 14.4 points and 8.4 rebounds. He ranks second in the league in scoring this season and first in rebounding.
Coach Billy Donlon on Valparaiso: “Valpo is really good. They start five seniors, so that should tell you they’re going to play with great urgency. They have great experience. They’re really well coached, and they have some good guys coming off the bench.”
