I find it interesting that when we played Butler in the HL and the Bulldogs went to two national championship games some discussed the fact that Butler started their practices every season with emphasizing defense and not working at all on offense during those beginning of the season practices.

When Valpo turns a corner on success this season they are definitely also emphasizing defense. I'm sure that offense is given it's proper due amount of time but if a team doesn't start with defense I really don't believe there can be success.

Oh yeah, my Sophomore year, 2007 they hosted Marquette and Butler in back to back games. I believe they were both top 25, but I know Butler was.

Wasn't Purdue ranked in 2010? Also if you go way back the Luther Miracle game when they beat no. 19 Notre Dame.

Of course, the most famous game is the Miracle on Mound Street in 1988 when we beat #19 Notre Dame. I remember it fondly as I was sitting right behind Digger Phelps the entire game, and I got to see and hear him throughout, including his comments to the team in a late huddle that they absolutely were not going to lose this game.

I remember the thrill of game-intro... "LaPhonso Ellis"... the first of many future NBA players to scroll through the ARC over the past 30 years...

that might make a fun list to compile.

JaJuan Johnson as well from this game.  Hummel was injured that season and did not play.  He did play pick up games at the ARC, does that count?
