The first conference road trip that features consecutive games can always be tough. For the MAAC that is devalued a bit as all the schools are in close proximity. Marist is coming of a Monday loss against Quinnipiac, but I expect a regroup spot today against St. Peter’s. Both games last season were played to the exact same score of 57-52. Take Marist to end St. Peter’s 3-0 conference start.

Metro-Atlantic sources are cautioning not to read too much into the Peacocks' 3-0 break from the gate in league play, noting that Saint Peter's caught the bottom echelon of the loop in the early going. Bashir Mason's squad also isn't scoring many style points, barely shooting 40% from the floor and 31% beyond the arc, with its share of heavy defeats. These are also special trips to Jersey City for Marist HC John Dunne, who coached the Peacocks for several years before moving to Poughkeepsie, and the Red Foxes have the look of a legit contender in this league with their veteran lineup that added a couple of portal sharpies (ex-McNeese G Rhyjon Blackwell & ex-Iona G Justin Menard, both scoring double digits). Play Marist
