The Crusader women's basketball team started the 2nd half of their Horizon League schedule with a home loss to Butler. Valpo and Butler played to 6 different 1st half ties before the Bulldogs took the advantage and led 30-25 at halftime. Coming out of the break, the Bulldogs exploded with a 16-4 run to put the contest out of reach and return to Indianapolis with a 66-52 victory. The Crusaders had another tough evening shooting the basketball, hitting only 31% of their field goal attempts and making just 5 3-pointers over the entire contest.

The Valparaiso men's basketball team suffered its second home defeat of the season with a 75-71 loss to Wright State. A 15-0 Raider run in the first half gave Wright State control for most of the game. Although Valpo rallied to take two different leads in the second half, it could not overcome its dismal 18% shooting from behind the arc and fell to their conference adversary. The Crusaders end the night with a 6-6 Horizon League record to sit in 6th place in the standings.
