Valparaiso returns all of its key players from last season's NCAA Tournament team, and look primed to make another trip to the dance. Will the Crusaders be the first Horizon League team since Butler in 2011 to advance past the Round of 64?
Valparaiso played it's first exhibition game tonight, and potential national Player of the Year candidate Alec Peters was awesome. He scored 34 points, and had 6 rebounds and just 1 turnover in a 75-67 win over a pretty good University of Indianapolis team (D2).
nice game as Valpo was hosting one of the recruits Bradley had been after... Chris Palombizio
but Valpo came very close to losing this exhibition - and needed all of Alec's 34 points...
this was a 3 point game with just 26 seconds left- when U-Indy had to foul to get the ball - and then Valpo made 5 FT in the last 26 seconds while Indy missed two 3-pointers for the final 75-67 margin
Box score for the Valparaiso Beacons vs. Detroit Mercy Titans NCAAM game from January 10, 2016 on ESPN. Includes all points, rebounds and steals stats.
for the 2nd year in a row - Valparaiso's Alec Peters kinda got robbed...(not just me saying so... his AAU coach..)
Valparaiso is by far the best team in the Horizon, they are 16-2, and Alec is their best player and pretty much the reason they are where they are...
but he again loses out to another fine player - Oakland's Kay Felder
Alec Peters was ESPN's #1 Top Play of the Day for his buzzer beater shot that sent their tourney game to OT
Unfortunately Valpo lost in OT to Brian Wardle's ex-players (Green Bay)...
Peters is pretty good (32 pts, 12 rebs), the Valpo offense simply didn't give him the ball enough.
Valpo joins Wichita State and a couple other teams on the bubble as midmajor teams that are deserving of an at-large bid, but who could get squeezed out by the politicking by the NCAA selection committee to make sure at least 7 teams from the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and Pac-12 get in.

Good story in the last issue of Sports Illustrated about Valpo and features Peters. BTW, Shaun Livingston has his picture in the same issue. You just have to look hard to see it.
Alec Peters and Bryce Drew were beaming after Valparaiso’s resounding win over St. Mary’s in the NIT quarterfinals. The coach put his arm around the star junior’s shoulder as they…
then there's a good front page column in the PJS about TWO local kids - Alec Peters and Brett Bisping, but..
the column does not appear to be anywhere on the website - only in print..
Anyway - there's no by-line, just credited to "Journal Star Staff" and sums up honors that both Peters & Bisping have accumulated including their recent NABC All District First Team honors.
