Pennsylvania vs St. Joseph’s Prediction 11/14/2026 Today’s College Basketball Picks

Penn vs St. Joseph’s Prediction

I’m going to take a stab on Penn here, but it’s a coin flip. The Quakers are coming off a five-point win on the road versus a Navy team that’s been pretty solid in the early-going so far. Penn shot a reasonable 42 percent from the field in that one with just nine turnovers but did get out-rebounded pretty significantly 46-34. Navy’s 48 percent (12-of-25) from outside and 70 percent (19-of-27) at the line didn’t help matters either. Penn has scored at least 70 points in all three of their games so far this year but they’ve also given up 81 or more points in two of them.

As for Saint Joseph’s, they’ve won all three of their games so far this year but they’ve been cutting it close in the last pair with an overtime win versus Lafayette and a three-point finish over South Florida. In the matchup with the Bulls, Saint Joe’s shot just 35 percent from the field with a 52-36 rebounding deficit but benefitted from USF’s whopping 23 turnovers as well. The Hawks have had some pretty significant shooting woes over the last two games. If that happens again Penn will have the door wide open for a potential cover.
