Vanderbilt has targeted Valparaiso coach Bryce Drew and the two sides are moving toward an agreement, sources told ESPN. Drew, 41, has been the head coach of the Crusaders for the past five seasons. He has a 124-49 record and has taken the program to a pair of NCAA tournament appearances. The brother of Baylor coach Scott Drew would replace Kevin Stallings, who left last week to take the Pittsburgh job. As a player, Bryce Drew hit the famous buzzer-beating 3-pointer that helped the 13th-seeded Crusaders upset Ole Miss in the first round of the 1998 NCAA tournament. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
