Saint Peter’s vs Bucknell 11/15/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Bucknell Bison and the Saint Peter’s Peacocks meet in college basketball action from the Yanitelli Center on Tuesday night.

The Bucknell Bison will be out to build on a 68-50 win over Niagara in their last game. Andre Screen led the Bison with 15 points on 7 of 10 shooting while Xander Rice added 14 points on 5 of 14 shooting with a team-high 4 steals. Elvin Edmonds IV added 12 points on 5 of 9 shooting with a pair of threes and a team-hjgh 4 assists while Alex Timmerman added 11 points with 10 rebounds for the double-double. Josh Bascoe also added a team-high 4 assists as well in the win for Bucknell.

The Saint Peter’s Peacocks will try to bounce back from an 80-44 loss to Seton Hall in their last game. Jaylen Murray was the lone Saint Peter’s player to score in double figures in the loss, logging 13 points on 5 of 10 shooting with a pair of threes. Latrell Reid added a team-high 5 rebounds as well in the loss. Murray was the only Saint Peter’s player in the loss to have at least two made field goals as well in defeat.

Bucknell is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games against a team with a winning home record and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Saint Peter’s is 21-6-1 ATS in their last 28 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss.

I get the case to be made for a home team like Saint Peter’s in spots, but the Peacocks are basically starting over and they haven’t been able to find the voice that can kick this Peacocks squad into high gear and show a sense of urgency. I think the Bison are battle tested enough to give the Huskies all they can handle and then some. Give me the Bison here.
