St Peter's closes out OOC play Saturday at Bucknell. I looked at Bucknell's schedule and roster. To me it looks like the 7'0 Williamson is the inside threat and Forrest is the outside threat. Forrest 40% from 3's. Our common opponent was Niagara there. Bucknell won by 9 as a 10 point dog. Impressive. Also impressive beating PSU at PSU. Bucknell shot lights out 58% FG 48% 3FG, including putting up 49 in the second half. NET has SP 206, Bucknell 281. Kenpom SP 243 Bucknell 314.
Just looking at the PSU game, it looks as if Bucknell can go on runs. 12-0 17-4 etc. If SP can limit runs and play perimeter defense, looks good. Needless to say, hitting shots will go a long way. I think SP will be a slight favorite, maybe 2?
You folks know more than I. Any thoughts?

Should be a win. Bucknell is not that good. But given our scoring challenges, we’ll need to once again rely on our defense to pull this out.

I agree SPC91. Keep it in high 50's maybe 60 should behoove the Peacocks.

Spot on, Latigo. Keep the Bisons off the board as much as possible and we win.

After taking care of the Buffalo trip this year, it would be fitting to do the same to the Bison.

Vegas has the game tomorrow as a pick and 123'. I'll take SP right now. SPC91, that's what we talked about the 50's for totals. 123' is pretty low but certainly favors the Peacocks. GO PEACOCKS!

PS85.... GMTA. Bucknell shooting 57% ... won't continue. Washington needs to pick it up. Plus, Bucknell, beating SP on boards. Flip those numbers, SP wins. Go Peacocks !

Great win. Defense turned it up 2nd half. SP hit the boards, turned them over. Reid 38 minutes and Clarke had a great day. One thing I liked was only 14 3's . I like the way the game plan was to go inside. Old school. Bring on the MAAC. Go Peacocks!

Didn’t get to watch today but it looks like the Peacocks took care of business. Nice to be over .500 to start the new year. Let’s go Peacocks!

I liked the way we pressed and trapped on defense. We have the depth to press most of the game. Bucknell had a very thin bench and got worn down in the second half. Only 7 turnovers for SPU is a good sign.
