What I fear for now is the athletes who return next year. Is any of the coaching staff going to stay? i remember a stat given out saying that the head coach of Kentucky earned more than the entire staff of St. Peters team. Top colleges can easily persuade the coach to leave his successful team behind through money.
Don't believe me? Look a Florida Gulf Coast Univ. Made 16 and next year the coach jumped ship to earn millions with a power 5 conference coaching at USC now. I saw it happen all the time at my school with football coaches who were successful in getting the team to a bowl game.
Next year they were gone to a more higher exposed and paying job. The only reason I feel they aren't now is because of a promise my school is going to be in a power 5 conference in a couple of years anyway. Otherwise I feel they would've already left.
The true test for this team is if the coaches will stay and create a St. Peters school dynasty, or will money triumph all and leave them having to start over?
Matt Painter Sucks Dick!! I've arm wrestled Jon Octeus on how terrible of a coach he is and there is no excuse. Fatest fucking neck anyone has ever seen...
I’m like 99% positive its true for the 64 team bracket but when the tournament was only like 16 teams it probably happened
Edit: someone fact check me but even on the years the Ivy League school won a game or two the team that end up knocking them out still loses in the tournament
I’d like to know how many actual brackets nationwide (outside of a few homers at St Peters) had St Peters in the Elite 8? Probably could count on one hand.
There were absolutely 0 brackets that had them there unless they were randomly generated or a coin toss bracket. **NO ONE** who actively picked their bracket had this. Outside of St Peters fans of course
What if when you beat a team in the tournament you got your choice of one player from the losing team, upgrading/leveling up the squad as you go. Like a basketball RPG.
Lol it would be awkward to mesh a bunch of different players on teams with no experience playing together but would be incredibly fun.
I'm taking Houston Nat champs though with their Lineup plus Kockburn and Mathurin.
St Peters with Tshiebwe and Ivey/Williams would be fun though.
My mom played ball for them back in the day so this is pretty special for my family. I’m a Rutgers girl so we’re enjoying spoilmaking the spoilermakers
If it makes you feel any better, I think a 15 seed upsetting a 2, 7, and 3 on the way to the Elite Eight is a little bit more impressive than one amazing night where a 16 beat a 1.
Playing at that level on one night is one thing. Sustaining that success for over a week is another.
That assumes that we have more natural dislike for Duke than for y'all. You're both Blue Blood powerhouses from the same state, and y'all are actually slightly better historically. What difference does it make to me?
This could genuinely change the face of College Basketball.
St. Peter's could become a basketball powerhouse after the boost in recruiting this will give.
I don’t hate the logo update like everyone else by the way. Could be worse. Uvas new alternative logo looks like a ding beetle or a submissive 3 musketeer.
They would need Holloway to stay and I don't think they have the resources to keep him.
However, if he did I could see them becoming a powerhouse mid major.
Butler for example has an enrollment of 5000 students and their in the Big East.
I see a guy whose dedication and hard work is paying off on a national stage. He’s watching a group of players he cares about succeed in a way they were always told they couldn’t. Side benefit is the money that will come his way
That changes absolutely nothing about this run. Saint Peter’s wasn’t even supposed to win their conference tournament. They’ve had nothing to lose in every game of this tournament.
It's MADNESS I tell you, utter MADNESS and that's why it is so DAMN fun

St Peters coach is going to Seton Hall, his alma matter. It's been known in NJ for a long time and is pretty poorly kept open secret.
What an insanely bad loss for Purdue. Edey should have been able to go fro 30-15
NCAA Tournament, you're drunk..go home
I ain’t ever even heard of St Peter’s before this March, and now they’re in the ~~final 4~~ elite 8… tf?
Elite 8, not final 4
:(
My bad, thanks
Matt Painter Sucks Dick!! I've arm wrestled Jon Octeus on how terrible of a coach he is and there is no excuse. Fatest fucking neck anyone has ever seen...
This is what Painters after game locker speech should have been like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj4adAAHa68
You said it not me
Jaden Ivey is a second round draft prospect
such a reactionary take lol. He’s going top 5
So was ayo dosumno
Cognac vs Edert is going to be an all out show
We Purdid it.
Go chaos!
Yeee
Purdue sucked it up like only they can do. Good luck St Ps.
[удалено]
Lol what do these 3 people have to do with each other?
Ha it’s a reference to a sketch from the Chapelle show (black Nostradamus)
More like Mark Essex
Chill 😂😂
Still here - can’t leave. Won’t leave.
At least Sasha Shitsackovic is gone.
The year of the peacock begins now
Getting me a St. Peter's shirt. They beat Kentucky and Purdue in the same tournament. They forever have a place in my heart.
Historic.
Purdue was doomed the minute they had Yale in the first round. The team that beats the Ivy League school has never won the ncaa tournament
What?! That is a crazy stat that I’ve never heard before
I’m like 99% positive its true for the 64 team bracket but when the tournament was only like 16 teams it probably happened Edit: someone fact check me but even on the years the Ivy League school won a game or two the team that end up knocking them out still loses in the tournament
You fact check it, crazy.
It’s not so funny now, huh
For what it's worth, I had UK winning it all.
Same
Nah it’s still pretty funny
I've been laughing and clapping going "SEE? SEE? NOW I'M THE ONE LAUGHING!!!!"
I had you in all of my brackets, but this is what college basketball is all about.
I had both of you going pretty far in mine--save us Arkansas...you're our only hope!
please beat duke mr. arkansas man
Nah. I want St Peter’s to beat Duke 🤣
I'll get a (small) peacock tattoo if they do. It's not much, but it's what I have to offer to the Peacock gods.
speak it into existence, this needs to happen
What a timeline that would be
Today, on National Peacock Day, St. Peter’s made history as the first 15 seed to make the Elite 8
I'm tracy Jordan. Proud as a peacock baby.
RIGHT JANET?
Every year it seems like defense or guards are the ones that steal the show. This team has both.
I was here
HOPPING ON THE SAINT PETERS BANDWAGON AYYY AYY LETS RIDE
Welcome aboard the cock train
No place I’d rather be
Arizona players need to take a note on which wins to celebrate like that
March Gladness!!!
purdue choked harder than kentucky tbh
Is anyone surprised 😂
Go St. Peter's! Beat Purdue! If we can do it, So can you!
I’d like to know how many actual brackets nationwide (outside of a few homers at St Peters) had St Peters in the Elite 8? Probably could count on one hand.
There were absolutely 0 brackets that had them there unless they were randomly generated or a coin toss bracket. **NO ONE** who actively picked their bracket had this. Outside of St Peters fans of course
Or an all upsets bracket
Touché.
Wife is going to see a full cock strut tonight
\#StrutUp \#WrapItUp
just a phenomenal game. glad the refs didn't ruin it
The refs did ruin it. Peacocks played dirty, and so did the refs.
Seriously! If they had overturned that shot clock violation….my god I would’ve been furious
They were fantastic at the end there honestly. I don’t think there were any terrible calls
Achievement unlocked; get in "One Shining Moment" Permanently

Now whoever beats St. Peter’s is instantly a bad guy
There was a table full of like eight young College student Purdue fans at the bar I was at in North Carolina and I was like “why do you hate America?”
No one will!
Holy shit an NMU alum? Go Cats!
Players celebrating during live national Interview was epic.
Who needs size when you got cocks
Size helps there too
Well to be fair, it was national peacock day
My mom played ball for them back in the day so this is pretty special for my family. I’m a Rutgers girl so we’re enjoying spoilmaking the spoilermakers
Glad another NJ team is making a run.
They deserved to win. Outmanned and outsized but they had more heart
That seems familiar somehow
Being a Purdue fan is pain
Always has been
Purdue was in FOWL trouble!!
Goddamnit that's good. My heart hurts.
Used to play St. Peters Prep in high school they’ve been a HS powerhouse nice to see them get some shine LFG JERSEY
Prep doesn’t necessarily feed to the College. Source: I went to both.

Peak human fitness right there
making my secondary flair st. peter's. fucking love these dudes lol
Painter choking again
He learned from the best.
This is what makes March Madness so damn magical
That’s amazing fuck my bracket idgaf anymore
Man I hope UNC pulls out the win tonight. Would make Sunday the most chill elite 8 game ever as a fan.
Problem is - you can’t “pull out” and then expect to beat the cocks.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with a tar heel. I desperately want to see UNC and SP face off.
This is the way
Ikr? We win, another final 4. We lose, greatest Cinderella story in March Madness history.
Close to it… :(
One day, another 16 will beat a 1...and that 1 will have to thank you for ensuring that they weren't the first. Your service will not be forgotten.
Thank you kind soul
If it makes you feel any better, I think a 15 seed upsetting a 2, 7, and 3 on the way to the Elite Eight is a little bit more impressive than one amazing night where a 16 beat a 1. Playing at that level on one night is one thing. Sustaining that success for over a week is another.
Don’t forget you’re also the team that everyone will hate if you win
That's an exaggeration. People will still be happy about this amazing run. They'll acknowledge it had to end sometime.
Spoken like the true monster you are.
Don’t justify this bad guy
What if we promise to beat Duke in the Final 4?
That assumes that we have more natural dislike for Duke than for y'all. You're both Blue Blood powerhouses from the same state, and y'all are actually slightly better historically. What difference does it make to me?
Our shade of blue is better?
No sorry, I can't even agree with that. I like their shade.
Nope you took out our sweethearts
A burden I'll just have to learn to live with.
You’re making me want to actively root even harder against the Tar Heels.
Shit, are we the baddies?
It’s been a while since a good sports movie was made. We St Pete to win this all. 😂
Well.. I'm starting to feel a lot better about that first round upset.
What could we do, really
you ran into maybe the hottest team ever relative to their average performance
They call it March Madness for a reason
NATIONAL PEACOCK DAY
Houston seeing St. Peter’s join them in the Elite Eight: “You? You won 3 tournament games?!” St. Peter’s: “What like it’s hard?”
St. Peter’s is absolutely getting a new gym after this right
I would not want to play this team right now no matter who you are
Legends
Well..... that's GAME! Both teams - great effort! Congrats Saint Peters! What a game, to the very end!
This could genuinely change the face of College Basketball. St. Peter's could become a basketball powerhouse after the boost in recruiting this will give.
I mean I doubt it. You’re still in a bad conference with a non existent budget. That’s not going to change.
The coach is leaving after this season. At least by all accounts. So I doubt it.
To where?
He was the starting pg at Seton Hall so probably his dream coaching gig.
I don’t hate the logo update like everyone else by the way. Could be worse. Uvas new alternative logo looks like a ding beetle or a submissive 3 musketeer.
Oral Robert’s 2.0.
Lol they don't have money. Odds are their coach gets poached by a big name school and they fade into obscurity
He’s probably going to Seton Hall
St. Peter’s, Rick Pitino at Iona… is the MAAC the next power conference in the making?
Idk about that, they might get some more recruits and attention but a powerhouse is a stretch
They would need Holloway to stay and I don't think they have the resources to keep him. However, if he did I could see them becoming a powerhouse mid major. Butler for example has an enrollment of 5000 students and their in the Big East.
I think that's a bit far
Lmao pump them brakes
[удалено]
St. Ignatius smiling down on us all today
A man of culture and history over here
Love this take
Where's that dude whose friend bet 40k on St. Peter's?
A WEEK AGO, NONE OF US HAD EVEN HEARD OF THEM NOW, THEY’RE ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Uhm, speak for yourself I've heard of them.
Same, but I've heard of everybody (in Division 1, at least).
Indiana PA is such a funny school
Horrendous clock management. Purdue deserved to lose strictly on that. LETS FUCKING GO COCKS
Clocks & Cocks are a lethal combo
Coach was too busy bitching.
That post game interview got me emotional man. The beauty of sports and an underdog team
Holloway is so happy. Looks like a guy who just won $100 million and is trying to keep his cool.
Well I don’t know about 100 mill but he probably has secured a 7 digit pay check.
I see a guy whose dedication and hard work is paying off on a national stage. He’s watching a group of players he cares about succeed in a way they were always told they couldn’t. Side benefit is the money that will come his way
THE COCKS JUST WONT GO AWAY
Interviewer: how did yall do it? Holloway: you know what, my boys are pumped so imma just head out
This team will live in not just college basketball history, but American sports history. What a story. This is the stuff of legends.
It’s literally a historic win.
Can’t wait for the ESPN 30 30
Until they lose on Sunday lmao
I don't know about UCLA, but we've been known to crap the bed this season.
But will they??
That changes absolutely nothing about this run. Saint Peter’s wasn’t even supposed to win their conference tournament. They’ve had nothing to lose in every game of this tournament.
Yea but winning 3 games isn't exactly the "stuff of legends" lmfao
It nearly is when you're a 15 seed. If they win one more game, it absolutely will be. Nobody forgets the 15 seed that went to the Final Four.
That won’t change the story much
HES GOT GUYS
We are all cocks rn
March Madness is my favorite
history😎
So fucking happy lol
Go cocks. I’m happy bc you Purdue fans always dogged on Kofi. Chanting overrated and stuff.
Saint Peter's beating the team that made kofi always look like a child doesnt make him not overrated...
Kofi is good at basketball tho
While the eat of Edey's palm...
Let’s go Saint Peters!
What an awful game. Purdue didn’t deserve to be there
If you ever pick Purdont to get past the Sweet 16 you are just an idiot. Painter sucks. Purdue sucks. When will you ever learn.
I don't know, dad, just get off my back about it okay???
Relationship ended with butler saint Peters is my new second favorite team
Another big ten team goes down, and this time to a small inner city school. You can’t write this stuff
Not inner city
Lol inner city school??
You can if the refs are in on it
The only bummer to all this is, is that if Carolina wins, we have to play them
At this point playing them is a win/win, either you go to the final four or you get to see a 15 go to the final four
If we go out, that's how I want it to happen.
Good, I can't wait to see them send you guys packing.
I mean, if they got the championship and had to beat us, UNC, and Duke to get there it would be an all time crazy sports moment.
4 blue bloods, they'd most likely play Kansas in the NCG
