The Peacocks, the highest seed to reach the Elite 8, face North Carolina or UCLA on Sunday with a trip to the Final Four at stake.
“We’re making history,” Saint Peter’s guard Doug Edert said. “We’re looking forward to making more history.”
Before Edert made two free throws to give Saint Peter’s a 52-51 lead with 6:01 remaining, a camera caught him talking to himself: “It’s go time, baby!” Edert said. When the final buzzer sounded, Edert hopped on the press table and punched his fist in the air toward a delirious section of Saint Peter’s fans as his teammates thumped their chests, waved eight fingers and turned the scene into one perfect Peacock party.Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
