Princeton vs. Saint Joseph’s Prediction
This matchup is a clear contrast in depth and defensive execution. The Princeton Tigers have struggled to keep pace against elite opponents, allowing nearly 80 points per game. The Saint Joseph’s Hawks have shown flashes of offensive explosiveness behind Glover‑Toscano and Jones.Expect the Princeton Tigers to compete early behind Davis and Hicke’s perimeter shooting. However, I expect Saint Joseph’s depth and relentless pace to wear down the Tigers. What makes this game particularly difficult for Princeton is Saint Joseph’s frontcourt size and rebounding ability. With Glover‑Toscano controlling the paint, second‑chance opportunities will be limited, while Jones and Haskins’ perimeter scoring could quickly widen the margin. I am backing the Saint Joseph’s Hawks to cover the 3.5 points in this game.
