CHICAGO (AP) Drew Valentine was on FaceTime with a recruit when he noticed a familiar figure walk by on Monday.

Porter Moser stopped in to grab some things and bid farewell as he leaves Loyola Chicago for Oklahoma. He also had some advice for Valentine, the Ramblers' new head coach.

"The last thing he said to me is make sure you do it your way," Valentine said Tuesday. "Make sure you do it with confidence and conviction. That's what I'm gonna do. There's so many situations that present themselves in a college basketball season. ... I have confidence that I can handle all those situations."
