Before the St. Peter's Peacocks made their NCAA tournament run, a Covid outbreak shut them down for nearly a month. It turned their season around.

Anyone without a rooting interest has every reason to be an honorary Peacock.
But there is something else that sets this underdog apart from the rest of the field: Saint Peter’s is the only team that credits Covid-19 with saving their season.
