Thankful for the recent opportunity to sit with Homer Drew, legendary former head men's basketball coach at @ValpoU as we supported his son (and former @ValpoBasketball standout) @BryceDrewCoach as he coached @GCU_MBB Once again I am left inspired by all the wonderful people, such as the Drew family, who have helped to make our Valpo campus community such a spectacular place to live and learn!

I think you meant to say it's been 5,509 days since @ValpoBasketball last lost to Butler.
.@ValpoWT ends an 11-match head-to-head losing streak against Butler, beating the Bulldogs for the first time since 2007. While this Valpo-Butler streak is over, @ValpoBasketball still holds a four-game winning streak over the Bulldogs dating back to 2010. cc: @TVBOren

Upon reflection, it may no longer be necessary for this Tweet to be saved.
Alabama is going to beat Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Save this Tweet.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox pleads with Americans to follow Charlie Kirk’s words of staying grounded when people are “losing their minds,” and that “internet fury is not real life.” More: tinyurl.com/bdp9dxda

Shocking: Court finds that law that never mentions tariffs doesn't give the president unlimited power to levy tariffs.

Excited to participate in Blue & Gold Day in support of @VikingsNPU. In an environment of growing professionalism in DI, programs like @npuchicago DIII athletics are even more important to provide accesable quality student-athlete experience.
The energy on campus for Blue & Gold Day was unbelievable, and it’s just getting started. Our 24-hour day of giving starts now! Head to the link in our bio to give and participate in challenges and matches to help your gift go even further! 💛

I appreciated the opportunity to put this study together with Timark Partners to help all those in college athletics to make better informed decisions about the transfer portal. Read the full study here through our @adadvisors1 website adadvisors.agency/
AD Advisors, a consulting firm for athletic departments, released today a comprehensive study on the basketball transfer portal dating back to 2019. It found that 65% of D1 basketball athletes who entered the portal either transferred down a level or didn’t find a home.
