The Saint Peter’s Peacocks and the Hartford Hawks meet in college basketball action from Reich Family Pavilion on Tuesday night.
The Saint Peter’s Peacocks will try to snap a three-game losing skid after a 73-57 loss to Saint Joseph’s last time out. Jaylen Murray leads the Peacocks with 13.6 PPG along with 3.4 APG while Isiah Dasher has 11.2 PPG as the Peacocks’ only other double-digit scorer. Latrell Reid has team-highs of 6.6 RPG and 3.9 APG to lead the Peacocks in rebounding and assists this season. As a team, Saint Peter’s Is averaging 66.9 PPG on 40.3% shooting from the field, 32% from behind the arc and 70.3% from the foul line this season.
The Hartford Hawks will be out to bounce back from a 68-50 loss to Saint Francis-NY last time out. Briggs McClain leads the Hawks in scoring with 16.5 PPG along with 3.3 RPG as the lone double-digit scorer for Hartford so far this season.

Saint Peter’s is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 road games. Hartford is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.
I’m not running to the window to bet this thing, but I don’t feel good about backing either side here, as I don’t trust Saint Peter’s to cover this number, but Hartford’s been blown out in similar spots to this. That’s why I’m on the under here. This just feels like a 40 minute slop fest full of mistakes and bricks and I think it’s the first to 60 wins if we even make it there. Give me the under.
