St Peter's travels to Riverdale to play the Jaspers Sunday. Opening line is SP -5.5 and 125. A gift, thank you oddsmakers. I thought minimum -8/130. Manhattan is trying very hard to replace Siena as the worse in the MAAC. Let's not stumble to this team. Other than Bender, MH isn't good. I look for SP to methodically wear them down and gets points off turnovers. As always, Go Peacocks!

Speaking of the Jaspers, they gave up 12 offensive rebounds to Rider. A very good sign for SP since they are one of the best in the country. Second chance points. Also, MH was only 8-15 from the line. Moreover, I didn't see MH press Rider even when they were down 10 with several minutes to go. The only positive sign for MH was they only committed 9 fouls. Rouzan had 4. This should be another road win. I know it's a rivalry and they won last year, however SP has won 7 straight before that February game. This should be 73-59. Go Peacocks!

Odd but true.... the last time SP was favored more on the road, was at Hartford Dec of 2022, -7.5 and won. I think Gallagher was the HC.
The last time SP was favored more on the road in a MAAC contest was February of 2017 at Niagara -7.5. SP won.
Currently it is -6.5 and 127.5.

Stay inside and enjoy the game tomorrow, Latigo. Looks as if you're in a deep freeze. Hopefully, the Peacock defense can do the same to the Jasper offense.

Hope we bring our A game after a week layoff. MAAC road games are never easy.

Thanks again Youngalum. I couldn't agree more with MAACDaddy. Offensive rebounds translates into 2nd chance points. Moreover, MH hasn't seen defense like SP. I doubt if their is more than a handful at Draddy. SP cannot stumble in this game. GO PEACOCKS!
PS85, yep. Inside. However, it could be worse. I could be in Buffalo.

Solid 16 minutes. Awful 4 minutes. MH 11-0 run. That cant happen. It looked like SP got tentative. What surprises me, MH outrebounding 19-16. Need a strong 5 minutes to put this game away. Go Peacocks!

That’s how you take care of business! Never let Manhattan get full momentum to launch a comeback. Kept turnovers to a minimum. That was a major key to victory today. 5-0 in MAAC play! 6 straight wins! Can’t ask for better as a fan at this point in the season. Go Peacocks! 🦚

Nice games from Washington, Clarke, Zeigler. The Zeigler injury scares me but encouraging that he was walking around. Hope we are at full strength for a big game next Friday.
Full disclosure I wasn’t excited or happy when Clarke committed. Glad to be so so wrong. He has really played well all year long and plays smart. Can drive and finish, knock down an open 3, and money at the line!

Key stretch when Manhattan cut the lead to two and we slowly increased our lead with full court pressure and timely shooting. Road wins are tough in the MAAC, where we are now 3-0, 5-0 overall.

SPU gets no respect when it comes to preseason predictions. We are always at the bottom of the list. Now we are 5-0 in the MAAC and all we hear about is Siena, Marist, Fairfield, Rider Etc. Etc. Even when we went to the Elite Eight we were picked preseason to be at the bottom of the MAAC.

I like Jaden and think he’s fair but his power rankings better not have Quinnipiac #1 tomorrow. If Iona had the exact same resume as ours there would be talk about 20-0. |

Big win for the Peacocks. Hopefully, Zeigler is ok. It looked really awkward. The Peacocks are starting to resemble a MASH unit.
One thing that surprised me was MH outrebounded SP and had much more 2nd chance points.
On to FF. Go Peacocks!
