With a win tonight over visiting Youngstown State, Valparaiso would clinch at least a share of the regular season men's basketball title and, because the Crusaders own all tiebreaker scenarios, would also clinch hosting rights for the Horizon League tournament.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Milwaukee senior guard Paris Gulley [Peoria, Ill./Manual (Southeastern CC)] has been named the Horizon League Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, while Panthers junior guard Jordan Aaron (Bronx, N.Y./Wings Academy (Southeastern CC)] has been named the Newcomer of the Week, for the week of Feb. 18-24. The award is the first of Gulley’s career and second of the season for Aaron.

Green Bay clinched at least a share of the regular season championship with their win over Valparaiso in the afternoon, and later clinched the No. 1 seed in the Horizon League Women’s Basketball Tournament when UIC defeated Detroit, 76-74, in the evening.

The Loyola Ramblers men's and women's teams swept the 2013 Horizon League Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend, garnering head coach Randy Hasenbank Coach of the Year honors. The Ramblers scored 190 points to take the men's title, followed by Milwaukee (140) and Youngstown State (78). On the women's side, Loyola scored 157.5 points to take the title over Milwaukee (119.5) and Youngstown State (112).

Several facility and meet records were broken on Saturday on the first day of the Horizon League indoor track and field championships at the Watson and Tressell Training Site on the campus of Youngstown State University. In all, six Horizon League records fell and seven new WATTS records were set, including four student-athletes who broke both marks.

In the final iteration of the Ramada BracketBusters, Valparaiso took a win on national television, while Milwaukee, Youngstown State and Cleveland State all collected non-conference victories.

It what will likely be the last iteration of ESPN's BracketBuster Series for the foreseeable future, all nine Horizon League men's basketball teams move outside the conference schedule to do late-season battle with fellow mid-majors. The jam-packed Saturday is highlighted by a pair of games on the ESPN family of networks as Valparaiso hosts Eastern Kentucky on ESPNU at 1 p.m. EST and Detroit travels to Wichita State for a 4 p.m. tilt on ESPN2. There will also be four games carried on the Horizon League Network.

Just one week of games remains in the Horizon League season, and the final week promises to be full of excitement after Wright State stayed in the running for a bye, while Milwaukee celebrated its seniors with a win on Tuesday night.

Four teams are in action tonight in the final tune-up before the conference schedule goes on a brief hiatus when all nine Horizon League men's basketball teams play in ESPN's Ramada BracketBusters series this weekend.
