With just under two minutes to play in a tight away game, the last thing you want to see is your star player go out with an injury. While on the night, the perceived “star” was St. Bonaventure Melvin Council Jr., who finished the overtime 77-76 win over the NC State Wolfpack with a startling 36 points. The nation knew that Darryn Peterson was always going to magnetize crowds with his dynamic play.
Peterson was on pace to do so again. After a rare first half where things weren’t clicking, Peterson notched 12 points on a smooth 5-8 mark until his hamstring hindered him from the final minutes of regulation and all of the ensuing overtime period.
