Valparaiso will win if: It can continue to spread its offense. The Crusaders had five different players in double figures in last Saturday's 70-58 win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Loyola will win if: It continues to get contributions from a few local players. Senior guard Keisha Collins (Marian Catholic) leads the team in scoring (11.8 ppg) and assists (4.7). Freshman Abby Skube (Chesterton) scored all of her career-high 17 points in the second half of last Saturday's 67-64 win over Illinios-Chicago.
Notes: Valparaiso is 15-1 overall in the series, including 7-1 on the road. With another win, the Crusaders keep alive their chances of hosting a game in the Horizon League tournament.
