It’s just one more day until Saint Peter's takes on
Purdue in Philadelphia. The Peacocks were asked this afternoon what a win would
mean for them.
"It'd be tremendous,
unbelievable. Not just for New Jersey but just for the tri-state
area period. To have a team representing in the Elite 8 ...
something that you think of doing as a head coach,” says Head coach Shaheen
Holloway. “It’s hard to get to this point, so when you here you
just got to keep working to get further and further."
The Peacocks were
seeded 15th in the NCAA Tournament this year.
“Being the
underdogs and being doubted is what we thrive off of, and we are trying
to just keep that mindset and keep doing what we're doing,” says
forward KC Ndefo.
A No. 15 seed has never made it to the Elite 8.
