“What they going to say now?” Saint Peter's Head Coach Shaheen Holloway said about his team's doubters, a group whose numbers are dwindling, after the Peacocks' 67-64 win over Purdue that sends them to the Elite Eight
Daryl Banks III scored the tying and go-ahead baskets that pushed Saint Peter’s to the brink of the Final Four, the tiny Peacocks thriving off a home-court edge in Philadelphia. The Peacocks had the fans inside the packed Wells Fargo Center on its side from the opening tip and the arena erupted when Banks tied the game 57-all on a turnaround jumper. He hit a driving layup with 2:17 left that made it 59-57.
As the team — and the school — get ready for their Sweet 16 matchup against Purdue, one player on the team is getting to experience an NCAA Tournament run similar to his father, who won a title more than 40 years ago. NBC New York's John Chandler and Bruce Beck report. Saint Peter's was winless in its three previous trips to the NCAA Tournament, the last one coming in 2011. The team got off a 2-5 start this season and went 28 days without a game because of COVID-19 issues. It had a 12-11 record in mid-January and entered the tournament with rumors swirling that coach Shaheen Holloway would depart for a job at Massachusetts or his alma mater, Seton Hall — which now has a vacancy.
