Where: Jersey City, New Jersey
Conference: Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
Coach: Shaheen Holloway

The Peacocks are located in Jersey City, N.J., specifically near the McGinley Square neighborhood. Now, if you aren’t familiar with the area, Jersey City is across the Hudson from Manhattan. The waterfront, which is further away from the University, is across from the Freedom Tower. McGinley Square is more inland in Jersey City, closer to the Journal Square area but not too far from Grove Street and downtown.

St. Peter’s will take on Murray State in the second round. No. 7 Murray state took down No. 10 San Francisco on Thursday in the late window.
