Saint Peter’s is chasing history, looking to become the lowest seed to reach the Final Four in NCAA Tournament history. First, the Peacocks have to get by No. 8-seed North Carolina on Sunday at Wel…
This is the Peacocks’ one clear advantage. Shaheen Holloway goes 10-deep and plays all 10 for double-digit minutes, which allows Saint Peter’s to pressure the ball nonstop. Its No. 3 scorer, mustachioed March breakout star Doug Edert, is one of its top offensive weapons. Versatile forward Fousseyni Drame is the team leader in rebounds and filled in well for the foul-plagued Ndefo in Friday’s win over Purdue. The unit produced 34 points in the opening-round upset of Kentucky.
Meanwhile, Hubert Davis has gone from the outhouse to the penthouse in his first season with North Carolina. The former Knicks guard was under fire most of the year as the team underachieved and now is being hailed for the job he has done in leading the Tar Heels to within one win of the Final Four. But he’s the other guy in this matchup.You keep waiting for the clock to strike midnight on Cinderella Saint Peter’s, but it hasn’t happened yet.
