Canisius was just 2-8 after 10 games this year, beating only Fredonia and St. Bonaventure. The Griffins would keep losing to FGCU, Rider and Mount St. Mary’s before finally getting another win over Manhattan on Friday. 

In the Friday matchup versus Manhattan, the Griffins hit a 32-20 run in the first half. Canisius was outscored 37-32 from there but held on for the 64-57 win. TJ Gadsden was tops in scoring with 16 points. 

Over on the Saint Peter’s side, they were 5-5 after 10 games with wins over NJIT, Bucknell, Old Westbury, FDU and Hartford. The Peacocks have since hit a 2-3 run with losses to Maryland, Iona and Siena mixed with wins over Manhattan and Quinnipiac. 

On Friday versus Siena, the Peacocks nursed a two-point lead going into the second half. Saint Peter’s faltered on a 39-31 deficit from there and lost it 70-60. Isiah Dasher led the way on 18 points with four rebounds. 

PICK: I’m going to try Saint Peter’s in this one. The Peacocks had a pretty good first half against a solid Siena team in their last outing but couldn’t keep the pace up. Saint Peter’s hasn’t gotten past 67 points in any of their last nine games however, so it’ll be important to get off to a good start here. As for Canisius, they’ve only hit 69 or more points once in their last seven games but might match up better against Saint Peter’s. It’ll be an interesting game and I think the Peacocks can cover if they play well.
