@ValpoBasketball......and the @HorizonLeague- Valpo was picked to win the Horizon League in preseason polling, earning 35 of the 39 fi rst-place votes.- The Crusaders have not fi nished worse than their preseason projection in the last six years.- Senior Alec Peters was named the league’s Preseason Player of the Year, Valpo’s fi rst league preseason player of the year since Lubos Barton (2001-02, Mid-Con).- Senior Shane Hammink joined Peters as a preseason All-League choice, earning a spot on the Second Team.

...looking back at last year- The 2015-16 Crusader squad won a school-record 30 games, fi nishing the year 30-7.- Valpo claimed the Horizon League regular season title by going 16-2 in league play, winning the league by three games.- The Crusaders were the fi rst Horizon League team to win the league title by at least three games since 2009-10.- The regular season title was Valpo’s fourth in a fi ve-year span, a feat accomplished only by Butler and Xavier previously within the league.- Valpo set new Horizon League records in league-only play for scoring margin, rebounds, rebounding average and rebound margin.- The Crusaders received an automatic bid into the NIT and were awarded a 1 seed as one of the First Four Out of the NCAA Tournament.- Valpo defeated Texas Southern, Florida State and Saint Mary’s at the ARC to advance to the semifi nals at Madison Square Garden in New York City.- The Crusaders beat BYU in a thriller at MSG before falling in the cham-pionship game of the NIT to George Washington.- Vashil Fernandez led the nation in blocked shots, was named National Defensive Player of the Year and repeated as Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year.- Alec Peters was an AP Honorable Mention All-American and earned a spot on the All-Horizon League First Team for a second straight year.- Bryce Drew repeated as Horizon League Coach of the Year.

...notes from #6/7 Kentucky- The game against the Wildcats was Valpo’s third in the season’s fi rst nine games against a top-25 team.- Valpo went scoreless for an eight-minute stretch in the fi rst half, going 0-for-14 from the fl oor as Kentucky went on a 21-0 run.- The Crusaders fi nished the game shooting just 34.3% from the fl oor and 4-of-15 from the 3-point line, while Kentucky shot 45.8% and 30.4%, respectively.- Alec Peters led the Crusaders with 23 points, 16 of which came in the second half, to continue his streak of scoring at least 20 in every game.- Jaume Sorolla enjoyed the best game of his young career, contributing eight points and nine rebounds – seven of which came on the offensive end.- While the Crusaders were out-rebounded by one of the nation’s best re-bounding teams in Kentucky, 48-41, they did grab 18 offensive rebounds and convert them into 19 second-chance points.

...notes from #21/25 Rhode Island- The Crusaders have now won 10 straight games at the ARC and 37 of their last 39 in the friendly confi nes.- Rhode Island was the fi rst nationally-ranked team to visit the ARC since Purdue in December of 2010 and the fi rst ranked squad from outside the state of Indiana since Marquette in November of 2006.- Alec Peters continued his early-season domination, scoring 27 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the fi eld and 10-of-10 from the foul line while also leading the Crusaders with nine rebounds.

- Peters was one of four Crusaders in double fi gures, joined by Jubril Ade-koya, Shane Hammink and Tevonn Walker.- The Crusaders went to the inside game as much as possible, taking just 10 3-point attempts on the night and just two in the second half.- Valpo continued its strong early-season work at the foul line, going 18-of-21 (85.7%) as a team.- The Crusaders won despite committing 17 turnovers. Rhode Island committed eight fewer turnovers, but Valpo was outscored in points off turnovers by just fi ve points.

...looking ahead- Valpo will take fi nals week off from competition before returning to the court at the ARC Dec. 17 versus in-state foe Indiana State.- The game against the Sycamores is the fi rst of three straight home games, as the Crusaders host Santa Clara (Dec. 22) and Chicago State (Dec. 28).

...on the road- Valpo enters this season having posted a winning record in true road games three of the last four years, after having not done so the previous 10 seasons.- Last year, the Crusaders posted a 12-4 record in true road games - including an 8-1 mark on the road in Horizon League play.- This year’s team has just three true road games on the slate during non-league action and is currently 0-2, with losses at Oregon and Kentucky.

@MSUBearsHoops- The Bears enter Saturday night’s game at 5-2 on the season, most recently winning an in-state battle at SE Missouri State on Wednesday, 79-71.- Missouri State is a perfect 4-0 at home this year.- It is a balanced offensive attack for the Bears, as four players score in double fi gures and fi ve others at least six points per game.

Bouncing Back Following Losses- The Crusaders have proven adept over the last two-plus years in games following a loss.- Valpo has lost 12 times (not counting the fi nal game of the season) since the start of the 2014-15 campaign, and each time has rebounded with a victory next time out.- Eight of those 12 wins have come by double fi gures, including six wins by 20 or more - the Crusaders’ average margin of victory has been 17.4 points.- Valpo has not suffered back-to-back losses since closing the 2013-14 season with a loss in the HL tournament semifi nals and a defeat in the fi rst round of the CIT.

Rematches From Last Season- Saturday’s matchup with Rhode Island is the fi fth of seven non-league games the Crusaders will have against opponents they played last season.- Valpo has already rematched with Oregon, Ball State, BYU and Rhode Island from last year’s schedule.- The Crusaders have avenged last season’s loss to Ball State, while defeat-ing BYU and Rhode Island both years.- The Crusaders have non-league games remaining against Indiana State and Chicago State, both of whom they beat last season.

Beating Ranked Teams- Valpo snapped a 40-game winless streak against nationally-ranked oppo-sition on Nov. 29 with the win over Rhode Island.- The Crusaders had not taken down a top-25 opponent since their win over Ole Miss in the fi rst round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament.- Prior to the win over the Rams, Valpo had not earned a home win over a top-25 team since beating Notre Dame in December of 1988.

Starting on a Winning Note- Head coach Matt Lottich became the fi rst Crusader coach in 36 years to open his head coaching tenure at Valpo with a win with the victory over SUU.- Tom Smith was the last Valpo head coach to start his Crusader career with a win, winning three straight in six days at home to open the 1980-81 campaign.- The Drews all faced tough competition in their head coaching debuts at Valpo: Ho-mer at Butler, Scott at eventual national champion Syracuse, and Bryce at Arizona.- Lottich is the fi rst coach to start his Valpo career with a 7-1 record since Wilbur Allen started off the 1949-50 season by winning seven of the sea-son’s fi rst eight games.

Peters’ Hot Start- Nine games into the season, Alec Peters has scored at least 20 points in every game and is averaging 25.1 points/game - good for second nationally.- Peters is also pulling down 9.0 rebounds/game and has recorded three double-dou-bles - he has recorded at least eight rebounds in eight of Valpo’s nine games.- No college basketball player has averaged at least 25 points and nine rebounds per game for a full season since the 2007-08 campaign.- Peters has been named Horizon League Player of the Week each of the last two weeks, giving him seven career weekly honors from the league.- Peters has moved into second place in program history and is now 17th in Horizon League history in career scoring with 1,908 career points.- Peters currently ranks third among all active players in career scoring, while his 114 consecutive games started is best among all D-I players.- For a full list of where Peters currently ranks in Horizon League and Valpo history, see the box on page four of the notes.

Glance at the Rankings- The Crusaders are receiving votes in both national top-25 polls this week.- Valpo picked up seven points from four different voters this week in the AP poll and also received one point in the coaches poll.- It marked Valpo’s fi rst appearance in the others receiving votes this season in the AP poll, while the Crusaders had picked up two points in the preseason coaches poll.- Last season saw Valpo reach program high-water marks in both polls on Jan. 18, when it received 30 points in the AP poll and 16 in the coaches poll.

Addition to the Trophy Case- Valpo’s wins over Alabama and BYU gave the Crusaders the Heavyweight championship belt at the Men Who Speak Up Main Event.- The title is the program’s fourth in-season championship in the last seven years.- Valpo most recently earned the championship trophy in November 2014 at the Challenge in Music City.- The Crusaders took home top honors in November 2010 at the Las Vegas Invitational and in December 2010 at the Lou Henson Award Tournament.

then took down Florida State at the ARC in the second round of the NIT.- Prior to last season’s win over Oregon State, Valpo had not defeated a team from the power-5 conferences since winning at Washington in the 2008 CBI.- Nine out of Valpo’s last 12 victories over opponents out of the power-5 conferences have come on neutral courts.

Head Coach1st Season

Stanford, 2004

Matt Lottich

Valparaiso University President Mark A. Heckler, Ph.D., and Director of Athletics Mark LaBarbera announced Thursday, April 7, 2016 that Matt Lottich has been hired as the 22nd head coach in the history of the Valpo men’s basketball program. Lottich, who has been a member of the Crusader coaching staff for the last three years, is just the program’s fi fth head coach in the last 36 years.

Lottich arrived at Valparaiso University in summer 2013 and has spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach on the Valpo men’s basketball coaching staff, helping guide the Crusaders to 78 victories during that span. Valpo has won two Horizon League regular season championships and one league tournament title in Lottich’s tenure.

The Crusaders have recorded the top two victory totals in program history in the last two seasons with Lottich on the bench. Valpo broke the previous school record for wins in a season during the 2014-2015 campaign, winning 28 games and earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament. This past season, Valpo won a program-record 30 games and advanced to the NIT championship game at Madison Square Garden.

Lottich brings nearly a decade of professional playing experience to the head coaching position at Valparaiso University. Lottich spent eight years playing professionally in Japan for the Oita Heat Devils and the Osaka Evessa, earning All-Star recognition four times. He also played one season in Germany in the Bundesliga for the Dusseldorf Giants, played one season in New Zealand in the NBL for the Harbor Heat and was a member of the New Jersey Nets’ summer league team in 2004.

Lottich played collegiately at Stanford University from 2000 through 2004. As a senior in 2003-2004, he helped lead the Cardinal to the Pac-10 title while earning NABC All-Star plaudits, awarded to the top-15 seniors in college basketball. He was also a member of the Wooden Award midseason watch list and was an Honorable Mention All Pac-10 selection as a senior. Lottich was also a member of the program’s conference championship squad as a freshman in 2000-2001 and still ranks among Stanford’s single-season and career leaders in 3-pointers made.

Off the court, Lottich came to Valpo from the National Collegiate Scouting Association, where he started in January 2013. Lottich ascended to the position of head scout during his time with the NCSA, which helps high school athletes navigate the world of college recruiting. Lottich also co-founded the TEAM Life Skills basketball camp in 2004 and spent nine years managing and developing the camp.

Lottich played his prep basketball at New Trier [Ill.] H.S., where he was named the Chicago Tribune Athlete of the Year in 2000 and holds the distinction of being the program’s all-time leading scorer. Lottich graduated from Stanford University in 2004 and currently resides in Valparaiso with his wife, Kylan, and their four children: Grace, Matthan, Christian and Landon.
