As Saint Peter’s prepared for its biggest game in several decades, it mourned one of its greatest players.
Three days before the Peacocks looked to become the first 15th seed to reach the Elite Eight in NCAA Tournament history, Elnardo Webster passed away at the age of 74, friend and one-time teammate Gene O’Connell confirmed.
Webster was the star of the last great Saint Peter’s team, nicknamed “Run Baby Run,” because of its fast-paced style and 94 points per game average. Led by Webster, that team upset Duke in the NIT quarterfinals and won 24 games, equaling a program record. The 6-foot-5 Webster averaged 24.8 points and 14.1 rebounds over two seasons with the Peacocks after starting his college career in the junior college ranks.
