Saint Peter’s beats Murray State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday in Indianapolis, 70-60. Saint Peter’s is in the Sweet 16.
The unbelievable tale of the tiny school from Jersey City and its NCAA Tournament heroics continued Saturday night, as the unheralded fiftteenth-seeded Peacocks knocked off No. 7 Murray State to remain the hottest team in March Madness. Saint Peter’s started the tournament by taking down one of college basketball’s elites in second-seeded Kentucky.
St. Peter's does not have a single player on their roster that was ranked coming out of high school.

Murray State has never been to the Sweet 16. It is now one win away. Racers win a classic against San Francisco in OT.
Will face St. Peter's on Saturday.
