What we expect to happen: Valparaiso and Detroit battled down the stretch during the season, but the Crusaders came out on top. In the conference tourney, the tables will turn -- Ray McCallum will carry the Titans to the NCAA tournament.

When: Tuesday, March 5 (first round); Friday, March 8 (second round); Saturday, March 9 (semifinals); Tuesday, March 12 (championship)
Where: First round at higher seed; second round/semifinals at Valparaiso; championship at highest remaining seed
The favorite: Valparaiso secured the Horizon League crown with a strong finish. The Crusaders won seven of their last eight conference games. Ryan Broekhoff (15.9 PPG, 7.5 RPG) is not just one of the best players in the league, he's also one of the country's more versatile forwards. And his team is ranked seventh in effective field goal percentage per Ken Pomeroy.
The top challengers: Settle down, Detroit fans. Yes, you're right there, too. The Titans split their series with the Crusaders this season; both games were thrillers. And when it wants to be, Ray McCallum Sr.'s crew is a fascinating highlight reel. But Detroit has mixed that potential with some ugly stretches of bad basketball, too. Still, Ray McCallum Jr. (19.2 PPG) is the player I'd want to lead my program if I were entering this tournament. Wright State is ranked 45th in adjusted defensive efficiency per Ken Pomeroy, and the Green Bay Phoenix have been one of the toughest teams in the conference in recent weeks. Plus, it's always helpful to enter any postseason event with a 7-1 center -- Alec Brown is averaging 13.5 PPG, 5.9 RPG and 1.8 BPG.
My pick: I believe in McCallum Jr. in a single-elimination tournament and am going with the guy I trust to make the clutch plays Detroit will need to advance and win the championship. The Titans are a really fearless unit when they're rolling.

After two free throws by Norris Cole, Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer to push the lead back to eight. Allen then was involved in a skirmish that resulted in an ejection for Timberwolves guard J.J. Barea, who was called for a Flagrant-2 foul. Minnesota coach Rick Adelman then drew a technical for arguing the call.Cleveland State freshman Bryn Forbes named Horizon League newcomer of the year--Cleveland Plain Dealer
