My Sane Picks along with 118 other entries might have just ripped up their brackets! That is because the most picked team to win the East bracket just got eliminated in overtime by the 15th seed St. Peter’s Peacocks!!!!
It looked like the Wildcats would survive when they scored the first 4 points of overtime. But the Peacocks hung in there to tie the game off a three-pointer from Doug Edert. Then, Daryl Banks got fouled going to the basket and hit both free throws to give the Peacocks the lead. And with about a minute left, KC Ndefo drove to the lane, got double teamed, but found Hassan Drame for the layup to give St Peter’s a three point lead.
Then, when all the pressure was there with Kentucky fouling to try to extend the game, St. Peter’s went 6 for 6 from the line to finish off the massive upset.
Who would have thought that two 12 seeds winning wouldn’t be the biggest story of the day. That’s because the Kentucky Wildcats are heading home and MAAC Tournament Champion St. Peter’s is staying a couple more days in Indianapolis!
