Oakland has been the Horizon League’s best offensive team for the past two years but is now the top defensive team. The Golden Grizzlies are leading the league with a 4-0 record after knocking off Valparaiso, 78-66. The win snapped a three-game losing streak to Valparaiso and upped the Golden Grizzlies record to 14-3 overall. Greg Kampe is the head coach at Oakland and I am most grateful as he gave me full access to their locker room for their Horizon League showdown on Friday at Valpo. Kampe is a positive task master and educator. He is a fascinating mix of coach/teacher/mentor/expert who combines a sense of humor with Yoda-like wisdom. He told his team prior to going out for the second half, “Do you want your coach to die of a heart attack on national TV? If you do keep throwing up three pointers. We’ve got to get it inside or else I’m going to die on the sideline. Is that what you want?” Thankfully the team responded and Oakland won 78-66 and Kampe is still alive as I write this.Golden Grizzlies get huge road win over preseason Horizon favorite Valpo--Oakland Press

Ferguson was not as well known as some of the other Flames freshmen in high school, but so far he has been the best in the class. Last week, the 6’4″ guard averaged 15.5 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals as UIC went 1-1.
