July 10, 2008, Greencastle, Ind. - "I'm sad and happy about Matt," says Valparaiso University head men's basketball coach Homer Drew of Matt Bennett, "who left VU for DePauw after two seasons as a walk-on," according to the Gary Post-Tribune. Drew continues, "I'm sad because he was such a delight and he made coaching very enjoyable.
