Who's Playing
New Jersey Tech @ St. Peter's
What to Know
The St. Peter's Peacocks and the New Jersey Tech Highlanders will face off at 7 p.m. ET November 7th at Yanitelli Center to kick off their 2022 seasons. The Peacocks went 22-12 last year and got to the Elite Eight before losing to the North Carolina Tar Heels 69-49. Meanwhile, last year was nothing to brag about for New Jersey Tech (11-18), so the team is looking forward to a new start.
A couple last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: St. Peter's was 20th best (top 6%) in points allowed per game, finishing the 2021-2022 season giving up only 62.5 on average. Less enviably, New Jersey Tech was ninth worst when it came to points per game last season, with the squad coming up with only 63 on average. The good news for New Jersey Tech, of course, is that these forces working against them might not carry over into the new season.
St. Peter's is the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. A win is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
