March Madness can be filled with heartbreaking loss and Cinderella tales where fans can't help but hop on the bandwagon.
For the 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, that team appears to be St. Peter's. The No. 15 seed went on to top No. 7 Murray State two days later, beating No. 2 seed Kentucky 85–79 in overtime during the first round, becoming only the third No. 15 seed to reach Sweet 16 in tournament history. ,
Peacock took a 32-27 lead at halftime and his red-hot playing mentality never stopped in a wire-to-wire 70-60 victory. Forward Casey Nedefoe scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks against the Racers to lead St Peters.
St. Peter's next opponent will be the winner of Sunday's matchup between No. 3 Purdue and No. 6 Texas—and he'll have a chance to become the only No. 15 seed to reach the Elite Eight.
A year earlier, No. 15 seed Oral Roberts beat Ohio State and Florida to enter Sweet 16 and lost two in Arkansas. The third event to achieve the feat was the Florida Gulf Coast in 2013.
