Team of the Week
Valparaiso split two games last week and had its five-game winning streak snapped, but there’s no reason not to be an optimistic Crusaders fan right now. The loss came to Horizon League favorite Green Bay by only one point on the road.
The Crusaders sit in third place right now, but after that performance they showed they will be in the mix for the conference title this winter.
