St Peter's travels to Fairfield Friday night. FF favored by 3.5 and 134.5 . Needless to say, this will be a true test against the 3rd place team in the MAAC. They have a couple of guys that can score at will. Defense travels. What's interesting is SP ranks 2nd in the country limiting FGA at 49.1. Whereas FF chucks it up 60 times a game. Something is gonna give. SP has a rebounding advantage by 10 a game. Hopefully, that remains tomorrow night. Both teams shoot from the line very well. FF 78%. Long story short, limit possessions, limit fouls and turnovers and rebound should be the recipe for a win.
When Marist played at FF, 1900 were in attendance. I'm guessing 2,000 + will be there tomorrow night. A tough road test. Go Peacocks!

Fairfield will be very tough at home. Need to be ready to play and make sure to not fall far behind early. Coming back from a large deficit has never been our strong suit. Defense will rule the day.

Very interesting. Helps me understand the usage of Bland by Coach Bash.

Youngalum, thanks for the posts. It is interesting about both of them on the court at the same time. Agree with SPC91, can't allow a 12-0 run etc. I think, above all the metrics, COMPOSURE

oops, I hit send before finishing. Composure by SP will be the difference. Go Peacocks!

Hogue still not dressed but pleasantly surprised to see Zeigler in action. Big 3 to end the half. Outplayed them for about 16 minutes then a bad 4 minutes. Hopefully Reid is ok. Still in it but gonna be a tough one.

Can’t seem to get any kind of offensive flow. Really bad if I’m honest.

Pretty simple, 3 for 19 from three. And two in garbagetime.

Lots to learn from this game. Right now need to get ready for Canisius at home Sunday.

Need Hough’s rebounding. Zeigler was playing on one leg. I know we did nothing from 3 but you don’t attack a 2/3 zone by trying to dribble into it.

Depressing to see him still not dressed.
