Future bracketbuster opponent Valpo is on espn360 tonight vs Loyola tonight if anyone wants to get a feel for the team. I will try and watch the game at work.
one of the keys to playing at the arc is the crowd, especially the students. if we get loud and obnoxious, it's basically like have 6 or 7 players on the court. we're trying to pack the place tonight, as this is homer drew's first home attempt at his 600th career win. so tune in for an entertaining game. :)

You can watch just about any Valpo league game on the Horizon League network.
the mac doesn't have any kind of equivalent to that, do they?
No. Much to the dismay of many out-of-towners on this board, myself included. :beam: I keep dreaming we'll have something like that . . . someday . . . someday . . .

:lol::lol::lol::lol: That's a good one!
I am a paid subscriber to zipszone (supposedly webcasting zips events). For almost all the season, it has all been audio only. Until the ball state game that was supposed to be on video webcast. Guess what? waited the whole night and saw nothing. Sent and email to complain, and i got an email reply saying:sorry we had technical difficulties, but we will keep your money.

i feel for you there. it's definitely something that i wish more conferences would have. it makes following teams so much easier for out-of-towners. i hope that more conferences, including the mac, can jump on the bandwagon.

The Horizon League definitely has a quality video broadcast. I didn't see the whole game, but the part I saw was almost TV broadcast quality. Would love to be able to see all the Zips road games like that.Valpo absolutely destroyed Loyola-Chicago, 71-47. Loyola's strength of schedule and season record is comparable to many MAC teams, and in fact they won at both Western Michigan and Northern Illinois earlier this season. In the part of the video I saw, Valpo's players appeared to be much more athletic and aggressive than Loyola's. They were clawing and scratching for the ball all the time.This should serve notice that Valpo will not be a cupcake for the Zips.

Oh so the NCAA didn't throw the Chicago team a bone? That's surprising.

The same Loyola team that just beat Butler at Butler. Go figure.

I don't think anyone on this forum disagrees with the fact that the only way the Zips can make the NCAA tournament is to win the MAC tournament, and that no result is more important than that. Of course winning any game is always preferable to losing. But beating Valpo must not become a distraction to the main focus of winning the MAC tournament. This is also the Zips only remaining game whose outcome will not have a direct effect on their MAC tournament chances. For example, it's not a game in which you want to have any key players on the court for long minutes, which could take away from their performance in the next MAC game.What this game does offer is an opportunity to try some things that the Zips might not want to risk for the first time in conference play. So I think we may see something a little different from the Zips in the Valpo game than what we might expect in a conference game.
