Saint Peter’s may be eliminated, but it will be the defining team of the 2022 edition of March Madness. There are other dominant storylines for sure, including Coach K’s final tournament ending up with a Final Four showdown against UNC, but everyone will remember this for being the Year of the Peacocks.
Well, I will at least. There are a lot of people who won’t be able to get past the Duke/UNC stuff. However, I can guarantee you that Kentucky, Murray State, and Purdue fans will remember it as the Saint Peter’s year.
There was once a time, not too long ago, that Gator fans at least could rest easy when facing one of the darling underdogs of March.
