About Valparaiso University Basketball

Valparaiso men’s basketball competes in NCAA Division I as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The program has been played at Valparaiso for over a century, with one of its defining chapters coming in the 1998 NCAA Tournament—when Valparaiso pulled a memorable first-round upset of Ole Miss on a last-second buzzer-beater known as “The Shot,” hit by Bryce Drew after a pass from Scott Drew, and advanced to the Sweet 16. The Beacons have also captured the 2016 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) championship, adding another postseason highlight to the program’s history.

A big part of Valpo’s identity is tied to the Drew family and the figures who helped build the program’s national profile. Homer Drew is remembered as the longtime head coach who guided Valparaiso to numerous conference titles and the famous 1998 tournament run. Bryce Drew remains central to program lore for “The Shot” and later returned to coach the program, while Scott Drew’s coaching path began at Valparaiso before he went on to win a national championship as a head coach at Baylor. In more recent program history, standout forward Alec Peters (2013–2017) became one of the program’s most prolific scorers and rebounders and was later drafted into the NBA.

Home games are played at the Athletics-Recreation Center (The ARC) on campus in Valparaiso, Indiana.
