Another on of those teams.  Undefeated at home.  Winless on the road.

Starting line up goes 6-1, 6-4, 6-5, 6-6, 6-10.

Only got 18 points in the paint vs south Carolina.   2 of 14 from 3pt range.

Need to guess which non-starter will go off for 25 points...

These guys beat IUPUI 86-72. 

not up to my usual preview... let's hope for the best, and no injuries going into the valley.

VU has had a chance to absorb the early season losses. It's time for a win.

Elon drops in 7 other categories in 2024 college report

According to the article they fell from 84 to 133. Undoubtedly, Valpo (#201) would like to have Elon's problem.

The changes in ranking criteria and weight given to certain factors are causing huge jumps and drops, leading some people to think that the changes are "real," that suddenly their school either legitimately leapt or fell 50 spots in the rankings. No doubt Elon's president and other central admins are having to explain to anxious alums, students, and prospective students that Elon is not in a free fall.

DeViero has taken the most shots, made none, missed his free throw,  has turnover already...when are coaches going t o figure out he cannot shoot consistently or hit anything are at decent rate?  He continues to be a big offensive liability.  I think we should be playing someone who at least is somewhat of a offensive threat.  We really lack offense.

Stafford is out, is the injury bad ?? Ughh we're gonna get wrecked...down 8-20 with 11 left in 1st half!

Pay wall.

Probably a good thing because this game started poor for the Beacons down 15 halfway through the first.
Tons of missed shots by Valpo.

Agree Valpo 64. Jahari needs more playing time or should start. At this point I don't mind three freshmen starting. Hell Michigan had the Fab Five...

We're playing with five D1 players today. At best.
I believe that we will win.

Might have spoken a little quick on this one. DeAvero now 2 of 4 from the 3, 3 of 6 from the floor. He is leading the team in rebounds, assists and...turnovers! Williamson is going to be a stud.  Valpo in a dog fight with 8 to go.  Barrett is a lost cause, unfortunately.  Can't even make a free throw.

We're in this with 6.5 minutes to go , down 4! 64-68, coming alive !!!

Hate to take positives in another loss, but think about this:  68 of 78 points were scored by freshman and sophomores, seniors scores zero and true freshman contributed 51 of 78.  We are so short handed, the guys played their asses off.

Tough loss after a big rally...freshmen continue to develop...too many turn overs by DeVereio our main ball handler...shooting, shooting, shooting...rebounding a work in progress but improving.   One of these days we will get it done and surprise someone...need to keep working and getting better.

2025-2026 could be special if Cooper, Kaspar, Jahari stick around. 3 building blocks for Roger to build around , frustrating now but long term we'll be alright...in theory!
