We thought Kentucky suffered one of the greatest losses in NCAA Tournament history. Hindsight is 20/20 and it appears the Wildcats just ran into a feathered buzzsaw. Saint Peter’s is the hottest team in America, marching on to the East Region Finals.
A battle of David vs. Goliath is a commonly used trope, but it felt like the most appropriate description when Zach Edey and Trevion Williams stood next to any of the Peacocks. Edey had an eight-inch advantage in the post, yet Purdue still could not exert its will on Shaheen Holloway’s squad. The Boilermakers’ bigs scored 27 points, but they struggled to get anything going elsewhere, allowing Saint Peter’s to hang around and apply pressure during crunch time.
