Saint Peter’s has been the darling of the tournament but perhaps Shaheen Holloway and his crew has their biggest challenge tonight.
The Peacocks physicality has been a big story leading up to the game but Purdue likes it that.
Zach Edey, Trevion Williams, and Jaden Ivey will all be up to the task.
Keys:
Whistles: If the ref lets the play get physical, Saint Peter’s has a chance to keep this close.
Paint Presence: Edey and Williams can dominate the paint against the best of them. If Purdue can get early production from those two it can be a long night for the Peacocks
Bank on it: Daryl Banks will need to have a performance like he had against Kentucky when he dropped 17. He can’t be a secondary story for the Peacocks
