Raheim Sullivan also has 9.3 PPG for Marist on the year. Matt Herasme also has a team-high 5.2 RPG for the Red Foxes as well this season. As a team, Marist is averaging 71 PPG on 42.2% shooting from the field, 32.8% from three and 61.4% from the foul line while allowing 72.6 PPG on 45.7% shooting from the field and 32.8% from three this season.
The Saint Peter’s Peacocks will be out to build on their 83-74 win over Quinnipiac in their last game. Daryl Banks III leads the Peacocks in scoring with 11.3 PPG as the lone double-digit scorer for Saint Peter’s up to this point in the season. Fousseyni Drame also has 7.6 PPG with a team-high 7.1 RPG while KC Ndefo has 9.9 PPG with 6 RPG this season. Doug Edert also has 9.6 PPG and Matthew Lee leads the Peacocks with 3.1 APG as well on the year.

Marist is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the over is 9-3-1 in their last 13 games following an ATS loss. Saint Peter’s is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 home games while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 Sunday games.
I get the case to be made either way here, but my lean is towards Saint Peter’s. Marist has played their fair share of close games lately, but the Red Foxes simply aren’t getting enough points here for me to consider backing them against an extremely in-from Saint Peter’s team that’s 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Give me Saint Peter’s laying the points here.
