Saint Peter's, the pride of Jersey City, is only the third No. 15 seed to make it this far in the NCAA Tournament -- and now, the Peacocks have their sights set on No. 3 Purdue in the Sweet 16.

Naveen Dhaliwal has more from Saint Peter's players and students after Saturday's big win over Murray State."We have played bigger teams the whole time," Holloway said."So them being a little bigger and stronger, it doesn't faze us. When you got tough, hard-nosed kids, they're ready to play."

Saint Peter's ended a 21-game winning streak and a memorable season for Murray State , located 265 miles from Lexington in Kentucky's southwestern corner.
