Saint Peter’s HC Shaheen Holloway on Blowout Loss to UNC: 'Tough Way to Go Out'

Sunday was a bittersweet occasion for Saint Peter's head coach Shaheen Holloway.

The Peacocks saw their improbable NCAA tournament run end at the hands of North Carolina in the Elite Eight. Holloway described the defeat as a "tough way to go out" but added that "words can't describe and explain how happy I am for this group."

He also said that Saint Peter's has a "very bright" future ahead. Whether he'll be a part of that future is unclear, though.

"I'm not worried about that," Holloway told reporters of questions about his next step from here. "I'm worried about those 15 young men whose heart is down and what they've done the last two weeks. We're going to walk out of here the same way we walked in—with our head up."

Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reported Holloway is expected to come to terms with his alma mater, Seton Hall, to fill the Pirates' head coaching vacancy.
