The Victory Bell: The Podcast returns with an “emergency pod” after Valparaiso's 80-62 loss in Terre Haute on Wednesday night. The game featured a dominant first 10 minutes from Cooper Schwieger, a record-setting output from All Wright, and maybe the most disappointing collective performance of the season as Valpo dropped its eighth straight game.After driving home in silence for about an hour on Wednesday night, I decided to open up my phone, hit record and share my thoughts on what transpired. There's no fancy intro or theme music. A couple of coughs made it on the air simply because this episode is as barebones as it gets. Just raw emotion after a difficult game to watch.
