FrontPageBets takes a look at some surprising elements surrounding this year's Sweet 16.
By Joe Sullivan For FrontPageBets Saint Peter’s coach Shaheen Holloway could be accused of embracing a sort of New Jersey stereotype when he talked about his team from Jersey City after its second straight upset victory in the NCAA Tournament.
This version of the Peacocks could use some offensive help along the lines of Webster. It’s a defense-first group that plays low-scoring games keyed by a unique shot blocker in 6-foot-7 KC Ndefo. Offensively, their two NCAA victories do not represent the type of team they’ve been all season. What’s really surprising is the offense they’ve played and it’s the reason they advanced. They are an excellent defensive team, and that’s been true in the NCAAs, but many times this season, their offense wasn’t clicking.
