Saint Peter’s has done the unimaginable so far during the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
North Carolina’s late run in the regular season propelled them into the Big Dance as a No. 8 seed and they haven’t looked back.
"It brings a lot of joy to me just because the relationship me and the head coach have, he was my high school coach for one year. So, it was just a great thing to see," Jenkins said. Watching Saint Peter’s edge Purdue 67-64 on Saturday night was a bit sweeter for Jenkins. His team lost to the Boilermakers in the first round of the 2011 tournament 65-43. Jenkins scored eight points.
