“Everything about this Saint Peter’s team demands to be appreciated at this exact moment. For one thing, the 45-year-old Holloway may not be in Jersey City for long. He is a former point guard and longtime assistant coach at Seton Hall, whose head coach, Kevin Willard, is by all accounts about to move to Maryland. After Willard got blown out in the first round of the tournament, he stumped at his press conference for Holloway to succeed him. (Maryland fans, myself included, have been left to wonder why the Terps are not hiring Holloway rather than his former boss, who has half as many NCAA tournament wins in 15 years as his old understudy does in three days.) Holloway is destined for an exciting path in coaching, and Saint Peter’s will probably learn what Florida Gulf Coast and Oral Roberts did before them: that maintaining momentum is hard. So enjoy it while it lasts, because teams like Saint Peter’s are not in vogue these days.

Many of us on this board have commented in the past that St. Peters is Seton Hall without a law school or a decent basketball team.

The fellows in South Orange should watch out if the Peacocks start shopping for law faculty.

St. Peter’s is gonna learn what life in the B1G is like.

Watching one All B1G player go to the bench only to have another All B1G player come off the bench in his place.
