COLLEGE BASKETBALL

The University of North Carolina will not be the only big name on the Valparaiso men's basketball team's schedule next season. In addition to traveling to Chapel Hill, VU also will play at Wisconsin. According to their tentative schedule, the Crusaders will make the trip to Madison on Dec. 22. It will be the third meeting between the two schools, who haven't played since 1995. There are no future games scheduled in the series, VU coach Homer Drew said.

With Wisconsin and UNC on the schedule, and VU set to play in the South Padre Invitational, chances are the Crusaders will meet at least three major-conference teams in 2007-08. -- DAVID ROBB
