Potential 12-seeds worth a pick

Everyone's favorite upset line (a year ago, 12 seeds went 3-for-4 in the first round).

Valparaiso (25-4, 12-2 Horizon League)
What's to like: How can you not like the Crusaders for an upset, when they're coached by the ultimate Cinderella-moment-maker, Bryce Drew? If that's not enough, Valpo has the sort of singular player who can make March magic happen in Alec Peters. The sophomore averages 17 points and 6.7 boards a night and has failed to reach double figures just four times this season. And, in a wildly competitive Horizon League, the Crusaders have won seven in a row and 12 of their past 13.
