Here are highlights from a neat little story from the NWI Times on how Valpo is going to take on the mighty Blue Devils of Duke. Kind of reminds me of us and some of the schools we are playing this year.

So, here is the challenge, Valparaiso University Crusaders: When you walk into Cameron Indoor Stadium on the 18th of December, you could be playing the top-ranked college basketball team in the nation.
What a night that could be for the Crusaders.
Or what a spanking.
You decide. . . .
"We love it, we love it," Drew said. "We really hope they're No. 1 when we face them in December."
And wouldn't that be something?
The Crusaders -- with 6-foot-11 transfer Mohamed Kone in tow -- take on the Blue Devils during the same two-week stretch that they'll face Marquette, UNC-Charlotte and possibly Iowa. Give Duke a battle for a half, or more, and the Crusaders will be the talk of the town. Beat the Devils, and they'd be the talk of the nation.
"To go against the best, it brings out the best in you," Drew said.
This is not a trip the Crusaders will fear; it is one they are highly anticipating.
"We're delighted," Drew said. . . .
Go State! ;D
