No. 15 seed Saint Peter's Peacocks topple Murray State Racers as electrifying run rolls into Sweet 16

INDIANAPOLIS -- Saint Peter's coach Shaheen Holloway said from the start that he didn't bring his team to Indianapolis for the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament to just show up and lose.

Holloway was right.

The Peacocks are headed to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history after beating Murray State 70-60 on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Peacocks will play the winner of Sunday's game between Texas and Purdue.

"I'm just proud that these guys get to play on a different type of stage," Holloway said.
