The David vs. Goliath narrative is often overused when discussing matchups in sports, but there may not be a better way to describe Saint Peter’s vs. Purdue.
Unsurprisingly, the Boilermakers are considered heavy favorites heading into Friday’s NCAA Tournament game. They have perimeter skill in top NBA Draft prospect Jaden Ivey and plenty of size in big men Zach Edey and Trevion Williams. They are a legitimate championship contender.

Saint Peter’s is fighting an uphill battle against Purdue, but it has already shown what happens if you discount the underdog.
Here is how you can watch Friday night’s NCAA Tournament game.
