St. Peter’s entered the men’s NCAA tournament as a No. 15 seed and nobody really expected them to do much because, well, they are a No. 15 seed and lots of us didn’t even know where their school is even located.
But now the Peacocks are the Cinderellas of tournament after beating Kentucky in the first round and then Murray State in the second round. They’re heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history and now have a bunch of new fans because of what they pulled off in their first two games.
Their head coach, Shaheen Holloway, is easily one of the coolest coaches in the tournament and after last night’s win he was able to share this special moment with his family:
