We will rank the 75 power conference teams and top 36 mid-majors in reverse power ranking order.  We’ll break down rosters, transfers, incoming freshmen, non-conference schedules, and pick a player to watch for each team. Butler’s departure from the Horizon League opens the door for the Valparaiso Crusaders to emerge as the top program in the conference.  Despite losing a pair of valuable contributors to transfer, Bryce Drew returns a veteran core that should lead Valpo to the NCAA Tournament.

During the regular season, they are 3-1 at the Athletics Recreation Center (ARC) and 3-1 in Green Bay. In their only postseason meeting, Valpo prevailed at the ARC in 2008 to advance to the quarterfinals.Two things are notable about Green Bay: (1) Dick Bennett -- need I say more? His legacy can be felt all around the HL, (2) They play in the shadow of their perennially ranked women's team, which is extremely rare in college basketball. The Lady Phoenix are the Butler of Horizon League women's basketball. The men's team was as high as a ...
