No. No I didn't.

I wonder if anyone in the entire ESPN or CBS pickems had them in the Elite 8.

Tough to believe that they have now been to as many Elite 8's as Tennessee. I hope that they win it all.

They really didn't deserve to be there, though. Right, volsboy?  I guess we are still waiting on them to be blown out.

Yes.

Barkley had a few interesting remarks post game:
(1) Purdue's offensive game plan was 'turrble".
(2) With St Peter's 3 and 4 guard offense they have controlled tempo in every game they have played in the tourney.
(3) The largest deficit St Peter's has faced in the tourney is 6 points.

My grad school lost to them.  Was only partially watching the first half, but caught most of the second.  Their offensive game plan may have been "turble" but I thought they did adjust nicely with Williams in the paint.  It wasn't enough unfortunately.

I hope St. Peter's wins it all.

I'm sure there are a handful that had them in the Elite 8.  Some of their fans did undoubtedly,and there may be a few people who did almost a random fill in for the office pool knowing nothing about basketball.

But overall, not very many.

According to the NCAA March Madness account, out of millions of brackets only 0.87% picked St. Peters in the Elite 8.

A lot of fun to watch.  I, too, would love to see them win it all.

On the ESPN site specifically it was 0.3%

They keep winning, good for them. Get hot at the right time. They deserved to be be there as much as any team ranked from 25-64.

I genuinely had never heard of them.
