CBSN
The St. Peter's Peacocks added Purdue's Boilermakers to their string of March Madness upsets on Friday night, becoming the first-ever 15th-seeded team to reach the Elite Eight. The Peacocks, who won Friday's game 67-64, will now face either UCLA or North Carolina in the East Region final on Sunday.
Saint Peter's had the fans inside the packed Wells Fargo Center on its side from the opening tip, and the arena erupted when Daryl Banks III tied the game 57-all on a turnaround jumper. He hit a driving layup with 2:17 left that made it 59-57.
With just eight seconds left in the game, Purdue's Jaden Ivey buried an NBA-distance 3 that pulled Purdue within 65-64 and momentarily shushed the crowd. But Doug Edert, whose wispy mustache and goofy persona earned him a fast-food chicken endorsement deal, sank two free throws to seal the win.
