Saint Peter’s has gotten this far because of its poise and toughness and confidence and clutch free-throw shooting, but also because the slow-paced Peacocks were matched up with favorites that don’t run the floor. Purdue ranked 238th in tempo, Murray State was 243rd and Kentucky was 152nd. The Tar Heels, who have averaged 87 points per game in the tournament and already bested the elite defense of Baylor and UCLA, play at the 36th-fastest pace in the nation.
The Tar Heels’ offense — first in the ACC in free-throw percentage and averaging better than 11 3-pointers per game in the tournament — has too many scoring options to go as cold as Saint Peter’s previous conquests, who combined to shoot 28.3 percent on 3-pointers and 69.3 percent on free throws. Plus, the Tar Heels commit few fouls and few turnovers, and will force the Peacocks’ subpar offense to earn its points.
