The Peacocks have become the story, not just in college basketball, but the entire sports world. The tiny Jersey City school with an enrollment of 2,100 has been methodically slaying giants in the sport.

North Carolina may be an eighth seed on paper, but the Tar Heels haven’t played that way for two months. They have won 15 of their past 18 games.
“I’ve been saying it the whole tournament, these guys really play with their chip on their shoulder, and some of these guys that were sitting up here just now feel like they belong at schools like that,” Holloway said. “So this is their opportunity to kind of showcase their talent and show what they can do.”
“When it comes down to the end of the game where it’s like we either win this game or we go home, we refuse to go home.”
