After shocking the country in the NCAA Tournament, Saint Peter's Cinderella team scattered to new schools and discovered that they couldn't take the miracle with them.
“Wonderful mustache, by the way,” she said.
To extend his clock and mature physically, he repeated eighth grade, and then enrolled at Bergen Catholic, where he shot around at 6 a.m. before homeroom. Prior to games, Edert chugged medium ice coffees with cream and sugar in 30 seconds. He barked at some opponents, growled at others and claimed to be a jungle tiger. Diagnosed with appendicitis the July before senior year, when he played in showcases to impress recruiters, he was treated without surgery.
“If there was a time machine, I’d go back right away and just live that same time. You can’t buy experiences like that. Money can’t get you that. That’s just time.”They teetered in February at 12-11, rediscovered balance down the stretch and tore through the MAAC Championship. When a referee commented on his mustache, Edert said, “You should grow one, too,” and slapped him on the butt. Before the Kentucky upset, Edert’s father sent him a screengrab of Ted Lasso pointing to a “Believe” sign.
“I think because of our system – we play fast, more possessions – it does lead to more points, inflates your numbers, gets you better opportunities,” Grasso said. “You’re living my dream,” Grasso said. “Don’t get caught up in it or make it bigger but enjoy every second. It is special. Very few human beings go through something like that.”
Edert started and hit an early three, but midway through the first half, Gross Bullock drew an offensive foul from Syracuse guard Judah Mintz, who proceeded to step over him. As they disentangled, Edert took exception and pushed Mintz, who then casually slapped Edert’s right cheek. Edert pivoted and slapped Mintz. Syracuse forward John Bol Ajak, who stands 6-foot-10, 216 pounds, charged after Edert, who retreated behind teammates. The crowd booed Edert.Edert and Mintz were ejected.
“There wasn’t a pout or head down or being a bad teammate,” Grasso said. “That’s what makes him unique and elite because in this age there’s not a lot of guys like that. Most guys come off the success he had last year and could have an arrogance or indifferent attitude.” Banks III thrived at St. Bonaventure, led the nation in minutes, and had T-shirts embossed with a caricature of him in front of a vault and “The BANK is OPEN” above it.
Edert entered with the Bulldogs trailing by 14. His 3-pointer cut it to 11, and his mother, who tracks every basket he makes in a page on her phone’s Notes app, punched in a 3.A layup by Edert drew Bryant within six, and he assisted on a basket that cut the lead to four. He missed another three with the game tied and was subbed out with 1:20 remaining.Bryant won by one; eight children awaited Edert by Bryant’s locker room. He posed for selfies and signed autographs.
Mason held open tryouts in the fall, but he stuck with a roster of 13. For the opener against NJIT, Holloway and Ndefo returned to receive MAAC title rings during a pregame ceremony, and a banner commemorating the run replete with each player’s name was unveiled on the wall. The Peacocks sprinted to a 17-0 lead and strutted to an easy 73-59 victory.
