Valparaiso has not released their 2019-20 non-conference schedule yet, but it was reported that they had an agreement for Vanderbilt to play a game in Valparaiso this coming season. The agreement was made when Bryce Drew was Vanderbilt's head coach. Drew is a former Valparaiso star player, and a former Valpo head coach. But Drew was fired this past March, and Vanderbilt hired Jerry Stackhouse to replace him as their head coach. Stackhouse apparently didn't want to play a road game at Valpo, so reportedly Vanderbilt paid Valpo $200,000 to buy their way out of the contract.

Vanderbilt just announced they will play a neutral court game against Loyola in Phoenix.

ISU Red schedule out:

https://goredbirds.com/news/2019/8/19/mens-basketball-announces-2019-20-non-conference-schedule.aspx

They and Valpo are in the same tourney. I thought teams from the same conference were not scheduled to play in the same tourney. Who dropped the ball?

 

[64NIT]

According to a thread on the NIU fan board, Northern Iowa is playing there on November 9.

Here's the entire thread. Sorry to make you scroll down until you find the UNI mention. haha

To be fair they might have committed before Valpo jumped to the Valley. If they do play though, and tie in the standings, shouldn't the winner there get the tiebreaker?
