The Peacocks’ Cinderella story continues with another statement upset
during the first round to topping No. 7 Murray State just two days later, becoming just the third No. 15 seed in tournament history to reach the Sweet 16.
The Peacocks powered to a 32–27 lead going into halftime and their red-hot playing mentality never stopped in a wire-to-wire 70–60 victory. Forward KC Ndefo carried Saint Peter’s, tallying 17 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks against the Racers. Saint Peter’s next opponent will be the winner of Sunday’s matchup between No. 3 Purdue and No. 6 Texas—and it will have a chance to become the only No. 15 seed to reach the Elite Eight.
