The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame Board of Directors have announced that Valparaiso University men's basketball legend Bryce Drew will be inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame on March 19, 2025.
 
Drew, the 1994 Indiana Mr. Basketball and IHSAA Trester Award winner while playing for Valparaiso High School, has succeeded at all levels of basketball as a player and coach. He had high school career totals of 1,577 points (17.9), 303 rebounds (3.4), 386 assists (4.4) and 218 steals (2.5) while leading the Vikings to a 69-26 record over four seasons. That included a 28-1 state runner-up finish as a senior while averaging 24.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.8 steals. Earlier, he tallied 10.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists as a freshman for an 8-14 squad, 15.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists as a sophomore for a 16-5 team and 17.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists as a junior for a 17-6 unit. He was named 1992 IBCA honorable mention All-State, 1993 AP high honorable mention All-State, 1993 IBCA Underclass All-State, 1994 AP first-team All-State, 1994 IBCA first-team All-State and 1994 Gatorade Indiana Player of the Year.
 
Drew then went to Valparaiso University to play for his father, Homer Drew. At Valpo, Bryce amassed a then school-record 2,142 points (17.2 ppg), a total that still ranks second in program history. He also pulled down 380 rebounds (3.1) and 626 assists (5.2) in keying the team to an 88-36 record. That included the memorable 1998 NCAA Tournament run, where Drew hit "The Shot" that catapulted 13-seed Valparaiso past 4-seed Mississippi before Valpo upset Florida State in overtime. Drew four-times earned all-Mid-Continent Conference honors, twice was league Player of the Year, was named to the 1998 NCAA all-Midwest Region team and was a third-team All-American.
 
A first-round pick by Houston in the 1998 NBA Draft, Drew played six seasons in the NBA – two with Houston, one with Chicago, one with Charlotte and two with New Orleans. He averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 assists in 243 career regular-season NBA games. He played professionally in 2004-05 in Italy and Spain, then joined his father's staff as an assistant coach at Valpo from 2005-11. In 2011, Bryce was promoted to head coach, going 124-49 over five seasons with four Horizon League regular-season titles, two Horizon League Tournament crowns and two NCAA Tournament berths. He was a three-time Horizon League Coach of the Year and a two-time NABC District 12 Coach of the Year. Drew then went to Vanderbilt with an NCAA Tournament appearance, and he currently is in his fifth season at Grand Canyon University in Arizona. His first four seasons at GCU have produced a 94-32 record with two Western Athletic Conference regular-season championships, three WAC Tournament trophies and three NCAA Tournament berths. Entering 2024-25, Drew's overall college coaching ledger is 258-140 with six NCAA Tournament berths in 12 seasons.
 
Drew is the uncle of current Valpo redshirt sophomore Isaiah Shaw (Phoenix, Ariz. / Davidson Academy [GCU]), and current Valpo head coach Roger Powell Jr. was an assistant under Drew at both Valpo and Vanderbilt.
