Fans interested in attending the tournament are urged to call the USM ticket office at 800.844.8425 to order tickets using a major credit card.

Tickets may also be purchased in person at the Pat Ferlise Center using cash, check or credit card.


Valpo player emerges from month-long coma

VALPARAISO, IN — Valparaiso center Kenny Harris has regained consciousness almost a month after he collapsed while lifting weights.

Harris' parents, Kenneth and Cynthia Jolly said in a statement that their son is out of the intensive care unit at the University of Chicago hospital.

``He is out of a coma and is breathing on his own,'' the statement said Friday. ``The family thanks all of those for the power of prayer and asks for continued prayer for a full recovery of their son.''

The 6-foot-10, 300-pound sophomore was in the university athletic center weight room when he collapsed during a supervised workout April 11.

Harris averaged nine points and five rebounds in 11 games last season as the Crusaders went 15-15.
