I saw that Iona is -2 and 127. Sounds about right. Couple of things. Hopefully SP can handle their press and get easy buckets. They are a good 3 shooting team. Have to guard that. Limit turnovers. SP has a rebounding advantage. I see this game with alot of fouls and fts. Free throw shooting may be the difference. I look for it to be in the 130s. SP 69-66. Go Peacocks!

Tough matchup for our Peacocks 🦚
Suspect Gael press will give us fits.
Our guards will be challenged all night.
Houge and Washington will have to convert a high percentage of inside shots for us to win.

Agree Loyal. The way SP handles the press will be the difference.
Jack, ty. Last 2 games vs Iona, they shot 28 fts vs 21 for SP. If SP can break the press ( 2 or 3 passes max), layups and a win. If not, trouble in turn 2.

Very solid first half. Zeitler is the real deal. A few things. Beating them on boards, love the 2-3 zone. Iona hasn't had a run and Shema has done nothing. Iona hasn't been in any rhythem.
The thing SP needs to change is from a 1-2-2 press break to a 1-4, (IMO). 2-3 passes and all layups.
I look for a mini run by Iona in 2nd half and more fouls. Great half. Go Peacocks!

I have been rooting for the Peacocks for the last 60 years. I hate those stinky Bums from Iona. ST PETERS WINS 69-59.

Nice win, Peacocks 3-0! Wasn’t able to make the game but the video had a nice cameo of Cindy yelling at Tobin to sit down, loved it!

Thankfully, SP had the 22 point lead. Washington was a beast in the 2nd half. This team is playing well. The defense will be a major weapon in the MAAC this year.
I'm not sure what the stats were, but ALL had to be good. SP really needs to work on breaking the press. Way to many turnovers. I'm not sure who has the best press in the MAAC, but SP has a darn good one too. One other way to beat the press is make the other team miss.
Great win and top of MAAC 3-0. MSM Sunday. Go Peacocks!

Watched the game tonight. We played with good intensity, but were very sloppy with the ball. Besides struggling with the press we made several bad passes in our half court offense. Very good rebounding, foul and 3 point shooting. Still, a nice win against a good team.
