What a monumental year as well for the Valparaiso men's basketball program.
The Crusaders dominated the Horizon League, only to be stunned by Green Bay in the conference tournament semifinals at Joe Louis Arena.
Their hopes for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament were dashed, but they regrouped as a top seed in the NIT.
Three wins at the Athletics-Recreation Center secured a trip to Madison Square Garden. Valpo beat BYU before losing to George Washington. The Crusaders finished with a program-record 30 wins.
What followed was a draining week.
Bryce Drew departed — finally — for Vanderbilt and Valparaiso promoted Matt Lottich, the Crusaders' first coach not named Drew since 1987-88.
On the same day the Crusaders introduced Lottich, Alec Peters declared for the NBA draft. The star forward ultimately was the last underclassman to withdraw, and he remained at Valparaiso when he could've left as a graduate transfer.
Peters is having a sublime senior season. Lottich seems like a dynamic coach.
Will that duo be able to lead Valparaiso back to the NCAA Tournament, to win a game for the only time besides the Drew-driven team that reached the Sweet 16 in 1998?
We'll see what happens in 2017.
