In failing to win either of their last two regular season games, the Peacocks finished 4th in the MAAC and will play in the 4 vs. 5 matchup Saturday in Bridgeport Ct. at 2:45 pm against Loyola of Md. in their opening MAAC tournament game.
If the regular season is any indicator expect a close game between St. Peter's and Loyola. St. Peter's won at Loyola by three points while Loyola won at the Yanitelli Center by two points. The rubber game of this series will be played on a neutral court, we'll just see who wants the loose balls more.
It's really a win the conference tournament or go home as it's not looking like St. Peter's, even with two wins in the tournament are going to the NIT with a 19-14 record. Rider, Iona and Fairfield all have 20 wins and only one is likely to go to the NCAA tournament even with this year's expanded field. To even get on teevee you'll recall St. Peter's had to play a game at the Yanitelli Center at 6 am. You can now see how the NCAA and ESPN view the MAAC.
Here's to a long run by St. Peter's, The Pride of Jersey City®!
