After being allowed to derail Purdue, the Saint Peters Peacocks tasted what it’s like to be a loser. North Carolina beat them 69-49 on Sunday. Good bye, Peacocks. Go back to your nest where you belong.
The Kansas Jayhawks are on their way to their 16th Final Four, and coach Bill Self has been there four times. I think the Jayhawks will beat Villanova and go on to win the trophy. They will take it back to Lawrence, and I think it will be a birdy celebration. Villanova lost to Purdue earlier in the season, and that’s what makes the derailment so disappointing. The North Carolina Tar Heels will face their rivals, the Duke Blue Devils in the other matchup on Saturday. I don’t think the Devils will win the trophy. Whoever wins the trophy will have the greatest mental stamina and will have the ability for one shining moment.
