23. Valparaiso (11-3, 1-0 Horizon). Last week: 24Michael Osipoff's best Post-Tribune sports stories of 2015--The Post-Tribune
There was my absolute favorite story of the year on Crusaders center Vashil Fernandez. His journey from Jamaica, and his ability to balance being a doting father to daughter Maia and now a husband to Bridget, the Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year, and an honors graduate student is inspiring.Breaking Down Valparaiso vs. UIC--Inside VU Sports
Would-be senior Fernandez anchored Valparaiso's NCAA Tournament team that nearly upset Maryland and set a school record for wins. After the season, the NCAA granted him a final season of eligibility, and he's part of another Crusaders team that appears poised to be a tournament factor.
Valparaiso's leader? Bryce Drew, of course. He is the son of Homer Drew, of course.
Parents and children.
Bryce ends 2015 as the coach of arguably the country's best mid-major team, perhaps a Sweet 16 team. Will he end 2016 still the coach of the team that plays its home games on the court that bears his father's name? Such matters are for another day.
