1st 15 seed eva to reach Elite 8. Wow

Playing the what if game....

Gurley transfers to AL. Becomes 6th or 7th man off the bench and they lose in 1st round

If Gurley stays... chance for POY and Dins go on St Peters type run. And if Dins bring in Garrison.. wow

We will never know... but oh the possibililties

St. Peters is an example of several things:

What can be achieved when 5 players plays as a team and not for individual stats/recognition.

That defense wins games, especially in the NCAA Tournament.

Why Power 5 teams will only play Mid-Majors at home.

if Power 5 teams were required to play at least 3-4 true OOC road games there not be 9 teams invited to the NCAA Tourney from one conference.

That the St. Peters coach is one of the best coaches in the NCAA Tourney.

GO PEACOCKS! Maybe one day that can be Furman.

The greatest conference in the land had 9 teams in the tourney. Have zero left. 😂😂
yes. amazing stat.. Conf with 1.5% chance is still playing over a conf that that 13% chance. Almost 10x more likely to be playing

Those selection commitee folks are real basketball genius's. They might do better of picking names out of a hat

But we all know that dont we.....

No doubt Furman could beat St Peters on a given night. If we played them 10 times they would not beat us 10 times. kudos to them.

I dunno. St. Peter's has the Pope on their side.
