Kobe King returns to college basketball with Valpo nearly two years after leaving Wisconsin Badgers

On Tuesday night, Kobe King scored seven quick points in the first half during a 14-0 run in Valparaiso's 101-58 win over East-West University (Chicago). King hadn't played in a college basketball game in nearly two years.

"It felt good," said King, who finished with 19 points (9-for-13 on field goals). "It felt very good. My adrenaline was high. I just wanted to be out there and wanted to be with my teammates instead of going at them in practice."

The last time King, 23, had stepped onto a basketball court for an official game was Jan.
