men's basketball team is continuing their Cinderella run after beating Purdue in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. They are the first 15 seed to advance to the Elite Eight.
"What they going to say now?" coach Shaheen Holloway said about his team's doubters, a group whose numbers are dwindling. Saint Peter's fans made the 93-mile ride south to help pack the arena and give the Peacocks more of an edge than they usually have at their bandbox known as Run Baby Run Arena. Consider, just 434 fans were listed as the total attendance for Saint Peter's home opener this season against LIU.
The Peacocks hopped the press table and saluted fans in the first few rows. They mobbed each other and hugged and starting waving down fans and friends before they gathered at the basket to celebrate — one more time — the biggest win in program history. Banks led the Peacocks with 14 points, Clarence Rupert scored 11 and Edert had 10. Trevion Williams had 16 points and eight rebounds for Purdue.
