Hate to steal Bryan's thunder on this one, but this game has a seemingly special broadcasting rule. The game is advertised on the athletics website as being available through MIDCO SPORTS PLUS.

 

Plan Accordingly folks

This is a huge game even though very early in the season. SDSU beat K-State so a week win on the road would certainly get more attention. A loss and it makes Purdue seem more like a flash in the pan.

No thunder stolen, appreciate it Rez. 

Still riding the high from the historic double-overtime win at Purdue, Valpo now heads to Brookings for another tough road test against undefeated South Dakota State. The Jackrabbits have a Power Four win of their own, making this an intriguing early-season matchup between two 2-0 teams. I broke down SDSU, the matchups Valpo can exploit, and what the Beacons need to do to come home 3-0. Check out the full preview below!

This may have been addressed elsewhere, and forgive my ignorance, as I hadn't logged in here for the last 5-6 months after previously being a daily participant (we have 9 sports teams across our 4 kids' Fall 2026 teams), but are you/Bryan Foley collaborating with Paul Oren and his The Victory Bell, or are you completely separate/independent?

@valpotx Byran's write-ups seem completely independent, as I read both and neither have mentioned the other. But I will let him confirm

@valpotx, 804Union is correct. I’m not affiliated with Paul or his publication, The Victory Bell. I do see Paul around campus and at sporting events fairly often, and we are friendly, but there is no formal affiliation between us.

My goal with The Beacon Brief is to bring a more analytical flavor to the coverage, fill some gaps with different types of basketball content, and provide consistent Valpo men’s basketball coverage when Paul is busy covering other sports. I find there is room for multiple voices and perspectives supporting Valpo athletics, and that’s what I’m hoping to contribute. It’s a hobby I guess you can say!

Much love to The Beacon Brief and The Valpo Vault. Before that, much love to Section EE. 

I don't own the coverage of Valpo Athletics. No one does. 

The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

This game will be a good test.  On the road.  Good Mid-Major opponent.  First game after a monumental win at Purdue.  Will this team take turns stepping it up?

 

Valpo 75

SDSU 68

To watch the game, head over to https://www.midcosportsplus.com/ and register for an account. You’ll need to select a subscription plan, so remember to cancel if you don’t want to keep it.

They do offer a $10 day pass for select games, although I’m not sure if the Valpo game will be included. A monthly subscription runs $19.99. You can stream from your phone, computer, or I found their app on my TV and am logged in there. 

I certainly don’t need another streaming service, but I’m also not going to miss a Valpo game. It is what it is! Go Beacons!

I’ve wondered all along who would replace the three point shooting of Whitaker and Deese. Clearly Alocen isn’t the answer.

SDSU is a very good and they were the better team tonight.

They scored 21 points off our 9 turnovers. 

We were 23-35 in FTs.

We have some brights spots though in Hopoi and Scroggins. 

Flush this game and move on.

This was the other potential "loss" on the Non Con at the beginning of the year. Silver lining is that this shouldnt count too negativey against valpo for ranking

Impressed with scroggins and Hopoi. Bad shooting is becoming a trend- even at the line. Hoping sader is a short term injury. I fear foul trouble may become common for JT. But as Belichek said "On to Cincinnati" If its going to be bonus every night and bricks from 3 have to do better at the line. Lessgo Beacons
