Saint Peter’s Pulled It Out

The last game wasn’t exactly impressive for Saint Peter’s, but they were able to pull it out late, and a win here would be their third in a row. Bryce Eaton had a strong game against Rider, putting up 16 points, three assists, and two rebounds. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points. Two games ago against Fairfield, the defense was impressive, giving up only 52 points, which was enough for the 13-point victory.

Saint Peter’s comes into this game with a 9-13 record overall. They have gone 10-11 against the spread. The defense for this team has been strong, but the offense hasn’t been consistent enough. Saint Peter’s is averaging 65.7 points, while their defense is giving up 65.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 350th in the league, while the defense is ranked 26th. If they want to succeed in this game, the defense will need to step up. Marcus Randolph is averaging 14.7 points while shooting 35.3 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from behind the three-point line. He has been the definition of consistent as of late, scoring at least 13 points in each of the last five games. Saint Peter’s will meet Sacred Heart after this game.

Mount St Mary’s Looks for Third Straight Win

Mount St Mary’s is playing well heading into this game, and they have won two straight games. The last game against Canisius was a strong offensive game in the second half with 41 points, which was the difference as they came out on top. Arlandus Keyes had a huge game, putting up 17 points, two rebounds, and one assist. Jedy Cordilla also put up 14 points, seven assists, and one rebound. In this game, Mount St Mary’s will need the offense to be better. 

Mount St Mary’s sits with a 15-10 record overall; at home, they have gone 5-4. The Mountaineers are averaging 71.3 points per game, while their defense is giving up 72.3 points per game. The offense for this team has been solid, but there have been way too many games where they have refused to play any defense. Dola Adebayo is averaging 12.6 points while shooting 52.8 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from behind the three-point line. This overall has been a pretty balanced offense, and players keep stepping up in different games. Adebayo might be the leading scorer, but any starter can lead the team any given night. 

Why Mount St Mary’s Will Beat Saint Peter’s 

• Saint Peter’s has lost seven of its last eight night games against Conference opponents.
• The home team has won five of Saint Peter’s’ last six games.

Saint Peter’s vs Mount St Mary’s Prediction

This game is going to all come down to pace. If Mount St Mary’s can push the pace, they will find success, and that’s exactly what they will do here. The Mountaineers are averaging 71.3 points per game, and they will go well above that number. Mount St Mary’s has four different players averaging at least 10 points per game, and they are going to use a balanced attack here. When Saint Peter’s needs a basket, they have Marcus Randolph, but outside of him, who can they count on? In the last game, it was a balanced attack, but overall this season, that hasn’t seemed to be the case. Saint Peter’s isn’t going to make the clutch shots here. Back Mount St Mary’s against the spread here.
