Massey has us as the three point favorite. Must win for the drive for 6

No. 112 Valparaiso (3-3) @ No. 103 San Diego (2-4)

Valpofb16 — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:54:23 +0000

Not sure what to make of San Diego this year. Win over top 40 Cal Poly. Brutal non conference and a slogging by Butler. Either Butler or Cal Poly is the outlier, with USD history leaning Butler. Win here and a winning season becomes extremely likely

Beacs: 21

USD: 18

No. 106 Drake (2-3) @ No. 118 Valparaiso (2-3)

Interesting game at home. Drake went 0-3 non con. Pounded Davidson appears to be very bad. And beat Dayton who appeared to be very good.

Only one coach last 25 years could beat Drake. Tall tale for Waddle & Co but a win here and we are looking at a winning season

Bulldogs: 21

Beacs: 10

Hopefully folks are able to make out there today. Would like to hear what people think. Regular season about 35 days away.

From what I have seen from both teams this season, if Valpo limits mistakes.

24-14 Beacs

2026-2027 Season: Valparaiso Beacon Basketball General Discussion

Bryan F. — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:59:48 +0000

With the first official practice of the season now in the books, it feels like the right time to kick off the 2026-27 Valparaiso Basketball thread. There are plenty of questions to answer and challenges to overcome, but there's also a lot to be excited about with this group. Let's get behind the Beacons this season, pack the ARC, and be the sixth man every step of the way. Here's to an exciting year of Valpo basketball. Go Beacons!

I had the chance to catch practice on Tuesday, and it was awesome to see how well this group is already meshing. The offseason is officially behind us, and all signs point to a team that's locked in and ready to get to work. A few quick observations: Bruno was back to full contact after an offseason knee issue, and Dylan Moles was lighting it up from beyond the arc. It's still early, but the energy, focus, and chemistry were hard to miss. Let the excitement begin. Go Beacons!

No. 107 Butler (3-1) @ No. 121 Valparaiso (1-2)

Butler is coming off two weeks of handling Franklin (DIII) and newly formed Chicago State (Newly Formed FCS Scholarship). Massey is calling for a Bulldog 7 point win. I think Valpo plays mistake free, its homecoming, upperclassmen defense come to play.

Final Score:

Beacs: 21

Bulldogs:10

Waddle biggest win to date

If you have a subscription to Disney Plus (we do for grandkids) you also get ESPN.

FCS No. 122 Valparaiso (1-1) Vs No. 53 Indiana State (1-2)

Valpofb16 — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 14:13:17 +0000

Indiana State is our second and final MVC oppoenent. Played tough for a half against Purdue. Beat Eastern Illinois who relatively handled Murray State. Dual Threat Elijah Owens at QB will probably be a handful. Their defense is giving up 433 YPG

Guess is about 35-14 Sycamores
