About Valparaiso Basketball

Valparaiso men’s basketball competes in NCAA Division I as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The program’s modern identity includes one of the most memorable moments in NCAA Tournament history: Bryce Drew’s 1998 buzzer-beater—known as “The Shot” or “Drew’s Miracle”—that upset Ole Miss and helped propel Valpo to the Sweet 16. Notable figures tied to the program include Bryce Drew, legendary head coach Homer Drew, longtime assistant-turned-prominent head coach Scott Drew, and standout scorer Alec Peters.

On game day, Valpo plays at the Athletics-Recreation Center (the ARC), a multi-purpose on-campus facility that opened in 1984 and seats approximately 5,000. With the crowd close to the court, the ARC is known for a loud, intimate collegiate atmosphere that can feel intense when the building nears capacity.

Valpo has long had in-state and regional matchups that elevate demand, including a longtime rivalry with the Butler Bulldogs. The program also developed rivalry energy during its Horizon League era with teams such as the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix and the Detroit Mercy Titans, and MVC games against opponents like the Bradley Braves and Northern Iowa Panthers can bring added edge. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Valparaiso University tickets early is the smartest move.
