bracket of assistant coaches) participating in a free throw shooting contest. Both Drew and Powell have advanced to the second round, where they face Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy and Arizona assistant coach James Whitford, respectively.

A Lonely Banner: Each year’s senior class has banners hung inside the ARC during their senior season, but this season, there is just one men’s basketball banner hanging from the rafters. Walk-on guard Nick Shelton started the season as the lone member of this year’s senior class, as fellow senior walk-on Nathan Stegelmann was added to the roster in mid-November.

Calling All Captains: With no scholarship seniors on this year’s squad, Valpo looks to a trio of juniors to lead the way as the captains for the 2011-2012 team. Ryan Broekhoff, Erik Buggs and Matt Kenney will share the captaincy this season.

A Little Longer Bench: For the first time this season, Valparaiso was able to dress and play 10 scholarship players Dec. 17 against Oakland. The Crusaders, who have dressed as few as eight scholarship players this season and played as few as seven, gained the services of Virginia Tech transfer Ben Boggs for the first time, as he became eligible at the end of Valpo’s fall semester. Valpo is still without scholarship players Bobby Capobianco, who must sit out the entire season after transferring to Valpo from Indiana, and Vashil Fernandez, who will be sitting out this season.

Getting Defensive: Valpo surrendered just 38 points to Holy Cross on Nov. 14, holding the Saints to just 23.3% shooting from the floor. The 38 points allowed was the least by a Crusader squad since Valpo pulled out a 35-33 nailbiter against Green Bay on Jan. 21, 1984.

Bogan Goes Bananas: Redshirt junior Will Bogan had a shooting performance last time out at Detroit which reminded head coach Bryce Drew of Michael Jordan's shooting in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals against Portland. Bogan connected on his first six field goal attempts, including five 3-pointers, before missing a last-second 3-point effort going into the half. The Ole Miss transfer then knocked down both his 3-point tries in the first six minutes of the second half, finishing the night 7-of-8 from behind the arc. Bogan, who set a new career high with 23 points, was the first Valpo player to hit seven 3-pointers since Brandon Wood canned seven treys against the Titans in HL quarterfinal action last year.

Big Plays Late: Guards Erik Buggs and Jay Harris, who average a combined 16 points per game on the season, had accounted for just three points through the first 39 and a half minutes of Friday's contest at Detroit. But then Harris converted a layup to tie the game in the final 30 seconds to set up Buggs' buzzer-beating heroics. For Harris, who has a team-high 16 points on the season in the final minute of the game, it was his second consecutive game with a big shot late, as he had a key 3-pointer over Green Bay's Alec Brown on Dec. 31 to extend Valpo's lead to six points late.

Model of Consistency: Junior Ryan Broekhoff has simply been one of the Horizon League’s best and most versatile players through the first two months of the season. Last time out at Detroit, Broekhoff posted his typical solid stat line, finishing with 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Broekhoff, who ranks among the team's top-three in all five major stats, has posted seven double-doubles on the season, which easily lead the Horizon League and are more than the entire Valpo team has had in a single season since 2006-2007, when Urule Igbavboa registered 10 double-doubles. Broekhoff by far leads the league in rebounding (9.2 rpg) and ranks fourth in scoring (15.1 ppg), while also ranking among the league’s top-ten in free throw pct. and 3-pointers/game.

Van Wijk Does Work: Junior Kevin Van Wijk again hit at least half his shot attempts in Friday's win at Detroit, going 6-of-12 from the floor en route to 17 points. The junior, who ranks third in the league with a scoring average of 15.1 ppg on the season, easily leads the Horizon League in field goal percentage, hitting at a 62.5% clip from the floor this year. Van Wijk ranks among the top-ten nationally as well in the category. In addition, the junior continues to get to the free throw line at an impressive rate, as his free throw rate of 95.83 (120 FGA, 115 FTA) is good for fourth in the nation. 2011-2012 Crusader Men’s Basketball Game Notes Contact: AARON LEAVITT Office: 219.464.6953 Valpo Sports Media Relations [email protected] Cell: 219.476.6680 Athletics-Recreation Center www.valpoathletics.com 1009 Union Street Valparaiso IN 46383

Bryce Drew Head Coach 1st Season Valparaiso, 1998

Valparaiso University director of athletics Mark LaBarbera announced at a press conference on the Valparaiso campus on May 17, 2011 that Bryce Drew has been hired as the 21st head coach in the history of the Crusader men’s basketball program. Drew, the most decorated player in Crusader men’s basketball history, spent the last six seasons prior to his hiring as head coach as a member of the Valparaiso coaching staff, including the last five years as associate head coach under outgoing head coach Dr. Homer Drew. Drew, who has helped guide Valpo through their transition into a top-ten league in the Horizon League, becomes just the fourth new head coach of the Crusader men’s basketball program in the last 31 years. Drew joined the Valparaiso coaching staff prior to the 2005-2006 season, and over his six seasons on the bench helped lead the Crusaders to 102 victories. With Drew on the staff, Valpo moved into the Horizon League in 2007-2008 and returned to the postseason with a trip to the Invitational, where it won its first-round game at Washington. This past season, Drew helped guide the Crusaders to 23 victories, their highest win total in ten seasons. This year’s Valpo squad finished just one game back of a share of the Horizon League regular season championship, and earned a postseason berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament while receiving votes in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches Poll for four consecutive weeks. Over his tenure as a member of the Crusader coaching staff, Drew has coached 13 players who have gone on to play professional basketball overseas. He has helped coach Valparaiso as it has led the Horizon League in scoring twice, while the Crusaders paced the conference this past season in defensive field goal percentage in league play. Valparaiso also set the Horizon League single-season record for 3-pointers made (330) during the 2007-2008 season. Drew has been recognized among the league’s and nation’s top assistant coaches by Hoop Scoop and Jeff Goodman of FoxSports.com and also has been named among the Top Recruiters of Chicago by the Chicago Sun-Times. As a student-athlete, Drew cemented himself as the best player in Valparaiso men’s basketball history. Drew, who arrived at Valpo after earning Indiana Mr. Basketball honors and being named Indiana Gatorade Player of the Year in 1994, began his career by garnering Mid- Continent Conference Newcomer of the Year and Mid-Con Tournament MVP honors as a freshman. Drew, a four time All-Conference honoree, shined during the conference tournaments, earning All-Tournament Team honors each of his four seasons and picking up three Mid-Continent Conference Tournament MVP awards. He was also twice decorated as Mid-Con Most Valuable Player, one of only four players to be so honored twice in their career. Drew’s career culminated as a senior by being named a Third Team All-American by the Basketball Times. In addition to his individual accolades, Drew led the Crusaders to four Mid-Continent Conference regular season championships, four tournament titles and three trips to the NCAA Tournament. Drew, the career leader in points (2,142), three-point field goals (364) and assists (626) at Valpo, etched his name into the American consciousness in 1998 when he hit “The Shot” in the Opening Round of the NCAA Tournament to beat Ole Miss. The play, in which Drew caught a tip pass from teammate Bill Jenkins off a full-court feed from Jamie Skyes, won Drew an ESPY award and gave Valpo its first NCAA Tournament win in school history, propelling the Crusaders to the Sweet Sixteen. Drew also excelled internationally during his time on the court with the Crusaders, playing for the gold-medal winning Team USA at the World University Games in 1997. Following his collegiate career, Drew again made school history when the Houston Rockets drafted him with the 16th pick in the 1998 NBA Draft, the first time a Crusader had been chosen in the first round.
