The Providence Friars dream season has come to an end, following a sweet-16, 66-61 loss to the top seeded Kansas Jayhawks.

Providence struggled in the first half scoring only 17 points on 20% shooting – the lowest scoring half in Friars tournament history. Providence trailed 26-17 at the half.

The lead ballooned to 13 points before the Friars made a 21-8 run to tie the game at 44. The Friars took their first lead of the game at 48-47 with 5:49 following a backdoor layup from forward Noah Horchler. Horshler who also knocked down a pair of 3s to fuel the comeback led the Friars with 21 points.

The Jayhawks took the lead back shortly after and never looked back. Forward Jalen Wilson recorded his second straight double double of the tournament with 11 rebounds and 16 points. Remy Martin finished with a season high 23 points and his second straight 20 point performance of the tournament.

Kansas star guard Ochai Agbaji struggled from the field but set the tone early on defense. His three blocks in the first four minutes of the game were already a season high. Agbaji connected on an explosive alley-oop with three minutes left that sealed the game.

Providence’s season ends here with their first Sweet 16 appearance since they reached the Elite-8 t in 1997. Kansas the lone 1 seed remaining will keep their hopes alive with an Elite Eight match-up against 10 seed Miami.

Peacocks Strut Into Elite-8

March 25th is National Peacock day as the St. Peter’s Peacocks magical tournament run continues. The Peacocks became the first 15 seed to ever reach the Elite Eight after another stunning upset, beating 3rd ranked Purdue 67-64 in a game that wasn’t supposed to be close, at least according to oddsmakers.

The game was tight throughout with 15 lead changes. Purdue had a big size advantage but the Peacocks, like they have been all tournament were undeterred.

St. Peter’s guard Matthew Lee tied the game at 57 with 3:17 remaining. A minute later Daryl Banks III (who led the Peacocks with 14 points) hit a driving to give St Peter’s the lead. Purdue could not mount a comeback. Boilermakers Star and likely NBA lottery pick Jaden Ivey was held to only 9 points on 4-of-12 shooting.

St Peter’s has now knocked off No. 2 Kentucky, No. 3 Purdue and No. 7 Murray State to become the first seed 13 or lower to reach the final eight.
