Valparaiso University is a selective, independent Lutheran institution in Valparaiso, Indiana, an hour’s drive from Chicago. Founded in 1859, Valpo offers a thorough grounding in the liberal arts as well as professional training and graduate study. 3000 undergrads and 1000 graduate students.
It is one of the nation’s first co-ed colleges but closed its doors in 1871 as a result of losses suffered during the Civil War. It re-opened in 1873 as the Northern Indiana Normal School and Business Institute. Founded a school of law in 1879 – college is renamed Valparaiso College in 1900 then University in 1905. The school suffered financial hardship during WWI and was purchased by the Lutheran University Association. In 1976 Valpo moves its athletics to NCAA Division 1.
Sometimes referred to as the “Poor Man’s Harvard.”
Of course, that has nothing to do with their basketball program today but I was interested.
The team has size galore and seems to play a high tempo game if their scoring averages are an indication. A deep bench also.
This game will be yet another challenge for the Lions coming after their game vs Pitt later this week. At least they get an 8 day break to heal any wounds.
Gametime: Saturday, Dec 14 at 11:05 am.
Video: not likely but TBD
