I wonder if the FBS pay game we took at New Mexico State is going to help us in our coaching search. Does anyone know how much we got and how much of that will actually go to the department instead of being eaten up by travel food and lodging?

However, now is the time that he must assert himself as the Athletic Director and publicly make a statement that Valpo's tradition means success is expected from its basketball program and neither failure nor even mediocrity is acceptable. Someone needs to be the alpha male in the Athletics department right now, and it would be beneficial if Small quickly asserts himself. This team has had three poor outings already: a 15-point loss to Toledo, a 13-point loss to Chicago State, and almost a loss (a nearly made 3-pointer at the end of the game would have given them the win) to non-D1 Cedarville in the exhibition game. If Small isn't going to fire Lottich, he needs to set a fire that gets some attention. Fans need to know something is being done.
Dr. Small won't make a move this quickly, but we will see what happens after this season for sure.

Dr. Small should be on the phone with Jake Diebler right now.

Could we really fall any lower than this? I almost feel like I'm tempting fate by even asking these questions and I'm honestly more than a little afraid of the answers.Not arguing your point, but would Dr. Small have enough sample size from his time watching Valpo basketball to make the switch right now? I would understand firing him after the season, or later in this season, but what do we know? Maybe the team was overconfident or had other things going on this week in preparing for this game that took them out of it?

Valpo really needs to improve their non conference schedule, it is as exciting as a ham sandwich on Wonder bread without the cheese and mustard. c'mon Valpo, surely you can do better than this!

Even if Valpo plays out of their minds I am very pessimistic about a second half rally. Last major rally I remember was at Detroit (2013 - 2014?) led by Capobianco.
This needs to be it. This needs to be the loss that finally gets Lottich fired. He has little support amongst the fanbase, the community is mostly apathetic, and students do not care about the program. Where is the upside of keeping Lame-Duck Lottich around?
