Neither of these teams are good, and I’m not running to the window to back either side, but it’s fair to say the Saint Peter’s Peacocks are the better team, and they’ll have the best player on the court. The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights are one of the worst offensive teams in the country, and their defense has suffered as well. If forced to pick this game, I’ll lean toward Saint Peter’s, the club that’s shown signs of life this season.
