10. Valparaiso (11-3) – Horizon. Any hope for an at-large bid likely fell by the wayside after Valparaiso’s double-overtime home loss to Santa Clara on December 22. Which is a shame, because with wins over Alabama, BYU, Rhode Island and Missouri State, the Crusaders were beginning to make a strong case. Still, with Alec Peters (25.0 PPG, 10.4 RPG) putting up monster numbers and shooting more efficiently, Matt Lottich’s group remains the clear Horizon League favorite. This Friday night’s home game against top challenger Oakland will be an interesting bellwether for both teams.UNC Wilmington looks poised to repeat in CAA and return to NCAAs--Sports Illustrated

The question of where Alec Peters would spend the 2016–17 season was one of great intrigue last off-season—would it be back at Valpo? In the NBA? On another Division I team? After Crusaders head coach Bryce Drew left for the same job at Vanderbilt, many speculated that Peters, who was eligible to be a graduate transfer (and who would have been a highly-sought after one), would spend his final year at a school that could offer the NBA prospect more of a national platform and/or a shot at a national title. But in the end, Peters returned to Valparaiso, hoping to avenge a season that seemed destined to result in the program’s second straight NCAA tournament appearance before a crushing overtime loss in the Horizon League tourney semifinal derailed it.
The Crusaders did go on to reach the NIT championship game, collecting valuable postseason experience. And the senior is making the most of it—through 14 games he’s pouring in 25.0 points per game, with 10.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists to boot. That’s an increase of nearly seven points from his season average in 2015–16, though his shooting percentages, particularly from the perimeter, have dipped. Peters has posted five straight double-doubles, and his star play has helped Valpo get off to an 11–3 start with wins over BYU, Rhode Island and Alabama.
