Rather than sleeping off a hangover, spending a quiet Sunday inside or doing homework in the library, a group of Loyola students took a rowdy 66-mile bus trip to Valparaiso University to watch a men’s basketball game — courtesy of Loyola head coach Porter Moser.
For the second year in a row, Moser paid the way for roughly 80 students to go to a game at Valparaiso’s Athletics-Recreation Center (ARC). It’s a stark difference from two years ago, when he wrote a column in The Phoenix pleading students to come to games at Gentile Arena.
The trip would be free for students, including a ticket to the game, but a Sunday game meant students would lose valuable study time for the coming week.
