Daily News | St. Peter’s loses to North Carolina in the Elite Eight
The best story of March Madness ended Sunday night, five days before the calendar turns to April.
There were just five college teams remaining when the game began on Sunday: Villanova, Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, and St. Peter’s. The hard-nosed team from hardscrabble Jersey City ended its magical season by standing alone with basketball’s blue bloods. The Tar Heels will meet Duke on Saturday night in the Final Four as the archrivals meet in the tournament for the first time ever. Three weeks ago, they spoiled Mike Krzyzewski’s final home game by dropping the retiring coach’s team at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium. On Saturday, they’ll have a chance to send Coach K into retirement.
The odds were long for the Peacocks, but they followed their coach, a smooth-talking New Yorker who was an even smoother point guard two decades ago at Seton Hall.
