Daily News | St. Peter’s clock struck midnight, but history will not forget the Peacocks | David Murphy
Reality was already settling in when Daryl Banks III squared himself for liftoff. The first 18 minutes of St. Peter’s latest attempt at cheating death had been a lesson in the limits of sentiment. The shots that had bounced in were now bouncing out. The fouls that hadn’t been called were now resulting in whistles. The opposing ballhandlers who’d once wilted under the pressure now looked calm and composed and prepared for everything that the Peacocks had to throw at them.
This was how history ended, in the exact fashion that any rational observer should have predicted it would. After three consecutive upsets that made St. Peter’s the first ever 15 seed to advance to the brink of the Final Four, the Peacocks ran into a team that wasn’t just bigger but also considerably better, to an extent that the 69-49 final score somehow seemed to understate the margin.
“We expected to win this game,” said forward K.C. Ndefo, the one senior in St. Peter’s rotation. “We felt like we didn’t compete as well as we were supposed to.”
