Valparaiso basketball coach Luke Gore on NCAA Tournament, White Sox and Christian faith

Updated: Sep 2, 2021

Two days after seeing conference foe Loyola-Chicago get bounced from the Tournament, Valparaiso men's basketball associate head coach Luke Gore joins Jack to recap the weekend's games, including UCLA-Alabama, Michigan-Florida State, USC-Oregon, Gonzaga-Creighton, Baylor-Villanova, Arkansas-Oral Roberts, Oregon State-Loyola, and Houston-Syracuse.

Later, they preview the Elite Eight matchups (Gonzaga-USC, Michigan-UCLA, Baylor-Arkansas, Oregon State-Houston), and discuss 2021 White Sox baseball, players transferring out of Valpo (and other places too), as well as the importance of Good Friday, Easter, Jesus and Holy Week (also featuring lessons God has been teaching the both of them recently).

Coach Gore has been an assistant with the Valparaiso men's basketball program for 18 years and has ties to a number of prominent coaches across the sport of college basketball, including Baylor head coach Scott Drew, Gonzaga assistant Roger Powell Jr. and Oral Roberts head coach Paul Mills.
