Valpo Basketball / Re: MBB 2019-2020

first post-lurked from time to time

Looking at some of the threads/posts on here its unfathomable at some of the remarks

Starting at the very top-
I cannot believe the administration "doesn't care about athletics"
The school has multiple areas of concern-and all areas need to be addressed-I am assuming they have tried to provide Athletics with as many resources as possible considering the current economic climate

The Athletic Director ML has hired 2 basketball coaches for a much tougher league than we have ever seen.
Women's program seems to have improved dramatically -without question based on record and talent on the team

Men's program has taken a huge leap in only third year-with players that exemplify Valpo (good students/citizens/players)
So not sure how much more some posters expect from the A.D.-Seems to me he did a pretty good job finding what we needed.

Other sports seem to be doing as well as expected in a tougher league and with the unfortunate but necessary cuts to programs (M Soccer/M Tennis) I would think that helps the programs that remain in terms of facilities and resources.

As far as MBB -I think we are ahead of schedule-especially in comparison to the other programs in the MVC
How many have reached title game in 3rd year in conference?
Lottich played for a great coach at Stanford-coached under Bryce and has been around great basketball minds

Hopefully the naysayers in the past have come around after the tournament showing-and maybe they can show more support in all areas regarding Valpo Athletics

Go Valpo
