Hey! @ValpoBasketball, Justus McNair & @RogerPowellJr’s Beacons getting some national love!
BTW, the McNair triple was from the logo! #SCtop10 anyone? @ValpoBasketball
Nice win for @ValpoBasketball today. Triple my McNair at the buzzer for the win. One win away from tying last year's total & first true road win this year. @RogerPowellJr is building it brick by brick.
