On Thursday, 15th seeded St. Peter’s had won their first ever NCAA men’s tournament game in school history when they shocked the world and beat 2nd seeded Kentucky.

Tonight, St. Peter’s never trailed against 7th seeded Murray State to make it to their first ever Sweet 16. KC Ndefo led the way for the Peacocks with 17 points and 9 rebounds to keep them ahead most of the night. Murray State tried to fight back in the second half. They managed to close the lead to 2 points with just 4 minutes to play off a three pointer by Justice Hill.

But tonight belonged to the Peacocks. Doug Edert would hit a three pointer and a layup to extend the lead back to 7. And Murray State had no answer. The Peacocks hit their free throws and ended the Racers 21 game winning streak.

The Peacocks will be strutting their way from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis all the way to the East Regional Sweet 16 in Philadelphia. Cinderella said hell with this losing a glass slipper at midnight. They just kicked both slippers off, threw on a new pair of dance shoes and have decided to stick around at the dance.
