St. Peter’s vs Quinnipiac Preview
This game will be played at a neutral arena, with the chance to go to the MAAC tournament championship. St. Peter’s is the heavy favorite in this one, but Quinnipiac has proven that they can beat a few high-level MAAC teams, so this won’t be an easy game for the Peacocks to walk away with.
St. Peter’s Trying To Win As The Tournament Favorites
Because the Iona Gaels were knocked out in the second round of the tournament against the Rider Broncs, St. Peter’s is now the favorite to win the tournament. It makes sense that St. Peter’s is the favorite considering that this team has played excellent basketball all season long and finished 14-6 in the conference.
St. Peter’s is currently on a five-game winning streak and they’re going to look to continue this hot streak that they’re currently on to solidify a spot to play for a bid to the March Madness Tournament.
The St. Peter’s Peacocks are known for their elite defense and that is going to have to stay the same for them on Friday. If St. Peter’s is going to want a chance to win this game, they are going to need to continue defending at a high level. These teams have met twice this season as the Peacocks were able to win both games.
In those games, St. Peter’s won 69-59 and then won later in the season 83-74.
Quinnipiac Still The Underdog
The Quinnipiac Bobcats have been the underdog in every game that they have played in the MAAC tournament. Because they were the 11 seed, they had to play two teams that were lower seeds than them, but they were able to get the job done nonetheless. Not only were they able to get the job done as a higher seed, but they also took down a very good Siena Saints team 77-71 on Thursday night.
Quinnipiac is going to be coming into this one at 15-16 on the season.
In their most recent game against the Siena Saints, Quinnipiac was able to get huge contributions from Jacob Rigoni, Matt Balanc, and Dezi Jones.
Quinnipiac has been the underdog before, so they aren’t going to be coming into this one scared of the Peacocks.

Free CBB Picks — St. Peter’s vs Quinnipiac
For this game, I like the St. Peter’s Peacocks to win outright. Although the money line is much higher than I’d like it to be, I do think that this is going to be a tough game because Quinnipiac has proven that when they are on their game, they can score the basketball at a pretty high level. They have done so by scoring 77 points in both of their games during this tournament, and although St. Peter’s does have one of the best defenses in the entire country, Quinnipiac should still be able to find ways to put the basketball in the net.
I like the St. Peter’s Peacocks to win this game outright and have a chance to go play for a bid to the March Madness Tournament.
