Chris’ Pick
I’m rolling with St. Peter’s here. The cap for me is simple here. It’s a clash of styles as St. Peter’s wants to play slow while FDU wants to run and gun, but neither offense shoots the ball all that well. Except, St. Peter’s is one of the best free throw shooting teams in the country, and in a game that I think comes down to the wire, I want the team that’s going to hit their shots at the line. Give me St. Peter’s here.
Chris’s Pick St. Peter's -1.5
