In the biggest upset of the 2022 NCAA tournament thus far, No. 15 seed Saint Peter’s pulled off the biggest win in school history, stunning No. 2 seed Kentucky 85–79 in overtime.

In a game that featured a plethora of ties and lead changes, the Peacocks were never intimidated, going punch-for-punch with the blueblood Wildcats on the game’s biggest stage. With the upset, Saint Peter’s improbably dispatched one of the favorites to win the national title.

Despite 30 points and 16 rebounds from star Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky struggled to produce consistent offense against what should have been an overmatched opponent.
