Valpo started the 1998 tournament with a statement game, upsetting number four Mississippi on a last-second shot. They followed this up with a win over twelfth-seeded UTEP in the round of 32.
In the Sweet 16, the Crusaders — who came into the tournament as a number 13 seed — saw their Cinderella story come to an end after falling to first-seeded Kansas.
