Valparaiso – The Crusaders have the power numbers (much like Monmouth) thanks to a solid NC schedule that included wins at Oregon State and Rhode Island. URI’s injuries and subsequent struggles haven’t helped. Missing out on a chance to upset Oregon could prove huge. Much like Chattanooga, Valpo needs to start running away with the Horizon League, and that took a hit with Friday night’s loss at Wright State.
