Saint Peter's shocks No. 2 seed Kentucky 85-79 in OT Saint Peter's acted like it had been there before.

Saint Peter's tops Purdue, makes 15 seed history Doug Edert hopped on the press table and punched his fist in the air toward a delirious section of Saint Peter's fans - aren't they all? -- as his teammates thumped their chests and flashed eight fingers as the mayhem became a perfect Peacock party. Edert's giant leap toward the roaring crowd might have been his only mistake of the night. ''You jumped on a table?'' coach Shaheen Holloway asked later, then paused for some serious side-eye for comedic effect. C'mon, Coach. Let the Peacocks strut their stuff.

Next stop: the Elite Eight, a first-time destination for a No. 15 seed in the NCAA Tournament. ''We're making history,'' Edert said. ''We're looking forward to making more history.'' Daryl Banks III scored the tying and go-ahead baskets that pushed Saint Peter's to the brink of the Final Four, the suddenly popular Peacocks thriving off a home-court edge to beat third-seeded Purdue 67-64 on Friday night. read more https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/gametracker/recap/NCAAB_20220325_STPETE@PURDUE/
