Valparaiso has not released their 2019-20 non-conference schedule yet, but it was reported that they had an agreement for Vanderbilt to play a game in Valparaiso this coming season. The agreement was made when Bryce Drew was Vanderbilt's head coach. Drew is a former Valparaiso star player, and a former Valpo head coach. But Drew was fired this past March, and Vanderbilt hired Jerry Stackhouse to replace him as their head coach. Stackhouse apparently didn't want to play a road game at Valpo, so reportedly Vanderbilt paid Valpo $200,000 to buy their way out of the contract.

Vanderbilt just announced they will play a neutral court game against Loyola in Phoenix.
