Saint Peter's Upsets Purdue, Becomes 1st No. 15 Seed to Advance to Elite Eight

Cinderella is still at the ball, as Saint Peter's has become the lowest seed in history to reach the Elite Eight after a 67-64 win over Purdue in the 2022 NCAA men's basketball tournament on Friday.

The Peacocks became just the 10th No. 15 seed in tournament history to beat a No. 2 seed when they beat Kentucky in the first round last week. They advanced to the second weekend with a victory over Murray State in the second round.

Purdue becomes the second top-three seed in the East Region that has been stunned by Saint Peter's.
