If it's November it must be time for St. Peter's basketball

Fear the Peacock.

At least the MAAC did last year as St. Peter's won the MAAC Tourney and headed off to the Big Dance for the first time since 1995. While their dance card was a short one in losing to Purdon't, St. Peter's is eager to get back to work and the business of winning. Now, winning might just be a subjective term down Kennedy Boulevard as the Peacocks lost 78% of their scoring due to graduations and one team dismissal. Still, head coach John Dunne remains upbeat about the upcoming grind:

“Once you win a championship — especially one that you’ve wanted so bad — now that you’ve tasted it, you want the next one more.”

A hearty best of luck for the Pride of Jersey City this year. The Peacocks begin the 2011-12 season tomorrow evening at Buffalo.
