VALPARAISO, Ind. — Tod Kowalczyk wasn’t interested in the details, and didn’t want to discuss them.
Valparaiso lost both of its exhibition games to high-level Division II teams, perhaps signaling a massive rebuilding effort for the Beacons, who were predicted to finish seventh in the 10-team Missouri Valley Conference.
The Toledo coach was adamant that Valpo had talent and would prove as much on Tuesday night at the Athletics-Recreation Center.
He was right.
The Rockets needed all 69 of their points in a down-to-the-wire 69-61 win to open the season.
