When I say the word “Valpo,” one play immediately comes to mind for every college basketball fan. You’ve seen it hundreds of times, and it never gets old.
Valparaiso was a No. 13 seed, trailing No. 4 seed Ole Miss by two points with 2.5 seconds left in the opening round game of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Valpo needed a full-court prayer to win it, and it was answered by Bryce Drew.
“He did it! Bryce Drew did it! Valpo has won the game! A miracle!”
The Drew name is synonymous with the Valpo basketball program.
