Saint Peter's has been having a decent season in their conference this year but they have not been playing that well recently. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games coming into this one and 2 of those losses even came at home for them. Now they are going on the road where they are only 5-7 this season and going up against a Monmouth side that is 8-4 at home and has been gaining some steam recently. Monmouth has won 3 of their last 4 games and they have won 2 straight coming into this one. They even won 2 of those games by double digits and they are coming off of a win at home against Siena who has been playing very well recently. Saint Peter's does play a good defense in a lot of their games and they will likely lean on a defensive game plan here on the road against a team of Monmouth's skill that has been heating up. They will likely keep the game lower scoring and closer but Monmouth has been playing so well recently while Saint Peter's has not, Monmouth should be able to get this win at home by close to double digits but this game will likely be won only by single digits.

“That was the focus all week in practice. We knew Shavar and Papas were shooting over 40 percent from the 3-point line. We knew we had to run them off the 3-point line and contain them off the dibble, too. We were locked into that all week. It was really just talking to each other. Coach (Shaheen Holloway) said if we talked, we can’t mess up.” Daryl Banks after their win against Monmouth earlier this season.

 

 

“Nobody on the team came out with the right amount of intensity to play Saint Peter’s. And when you come out against Saint Peter’s and they get comfortable like that their deal is they just come after your manhood. And they came after our manhood and we weren’t ready, and that is on me.” - King Rice after his team’s loss against Saint Peter’s earlier this season.
