Can St. Peter’s beat UNC?
- Thread starter bignish
- Start date
If they can beat UK and Purdue, they surely can defeat UNC. But its elite 8 already, no team will overlook them any longer like UK and Purdue did. You can tell clearly that Purdue wasnt prepared for St.Peters enough well, the slow start in 2nd half set the tone for the rest of the game. UNC is playing at the championship level for the last 1-2 weeks, they seem to be on a mission.
I think they blown out but they’ve proven everyone wrong every game so who knows.
So far they have won games in which they have been 18, 8, and 13 point underdogs. Wish I would've had money line bets on them for all those games, because I would be a lot richer. Won on them tonight +13 though. They are +8 against UNC.
At least St. Peter's didn't blow their whole load on UK like everyone else has.
I mean St. Peter’s beat a team That beat unc by 30
Also St. Peter’s has 4 guards all playing at a high level. Guards win i March and I doubt love shoots out of his mind again
I definitely will be rooting for St Peters, Arkansas, Miami
Fair, but they faced Oscar and Purdue’s twin towers , so nothing new for them ...
Correct. And I don’t expect UNCs guards to play as poorly as Kentuckys did
Of course they can. Both are playing really well and anybody can beat anybody else at this point in the tournament.
I fully expect UNC to win.
Just one interesting little tidbit. St. Peter's will be the 2nd highest rated defensive team that UNC has played all season. The best defensive team they've faced was Tennessee - and that was back in November.

Yep UNC seems to be on a mission right now. I don’t know how St. Peter’s stops Bacot.
My only hope is that Caleb Love reverses to the mean and shoots Carolina out of the game.
St. Peter’s didn’t stop Oscar and they still won verses Kentucky. They don’t have to stop bacot to win
They actually beat two teams that beat UNC this season in the tourney so far. Lol.
Yeah, they can definitely beat UNC. They certainly won't be scared. We know that. It will be an interesting matchup. Leaky basically takes whoever he guards out of the game but with this team there isn't really one guy. A lot of it probably simply depends on which team makes their shots. UNC takes a lot of tough shots. Sometimes they make them and look great and something they don't get run.
UNC's had some problems defending straight line drives. It could be interesting but it's hard to bet against UNC in this situation....even though that's what we've been saying against St. Peter so far.
This^^^ I’ve been pulling for them since they beat UK but I think their run ends with UNc. They can beat them but UNc has been playing outta their minds. I’d Love isn’t hitting shots like he was yesterday though UNc could be in trouble.
OMG! That is some funny ass stuff! What is that dude on!? Dancing like it’s keeping the electricity from getting cut off!
They can, but I think UNC is the worst matchup they will have faced so far in March.
UNC’s guard play will be able to handle the St. Peter’s defensive pressure better than Purdue or UK. And Bacot is a more versatile big than Edey and Williams.
Also, since February 18, UNC has the 7th best defense in the country. They are just playing at an elite level the last 4-5 weeks.
I won nice coin on UNC money line against UCLA, and also won nice money on St. Peter’s over Murray. Ive got UNC 68, St. Peter’s 61.

The NCAA, CBS, and ESPN are all wanting that Duke/UNC Final Four Matchup game of the ages so badly on that Coach K Farewell Tour. They can easily hype that game the entire week. Duke vs Saint Peter's requires a different spin, and I'm not so sure they want that.
St. Peter’s winning the national title would be the biggest story in sports history but no one believes it could or will happen. Thus the media ignores it
Was at the game yesterday. It was over in minutes. I honestly couldn’t tell if it was anything UNC did especially well or just St Peter’s running out of steam.
