Get your butts over to the Yanitelli Center Wednesday night

Saint Peter's Basketball, The Pride of Jersey City®, plays at home in the semi-final of the national CIT tournament vs the Furman Paladins Wednesday night at 9PM. Let's turn out for Saint Peter's Jersey CIty, see if we can't get this tea, to bring us a national championship.

That's Right! St. Peter's takes down Seton Hall in OT

The Pride of Jersey City®, the St. Peter's Peacocks beat Seton Hall at the Prudential Center yesterday 83-80. The win by the Peacocks breaks a 17 year drought against The Hall.

Desi Washington had an incredible game, going off for 34 points including the winning 3 point basket in overtime. The only thing putting a damper on this wonderful win for St. Peter's (3-6) was Jamel Fields of SPU picking up a knee injury. Marvin Dominique also impressed for St. Peter's with 23 of his 25 points coming in the second half.

St. Peter's is at Hartford next Sunday the 22nd before coming home to the Yanitelli Center for a 2pm tip on Saturday December 28. Let's fill that place!

Incredible defensive effort in the 2nd half lifts St. Peter's 72-62 over Siena

Things weren't looking good at the Yanitelli Center at halftime friends. Our Peacocks were down by 7 39-32. Then, the defense stepped it up to an amazing level, at one point with almost 7 minutes to play St. Peter's had only given up SIX second half points. What an effort. We wonder what was said at halftime to so inspire this defensive wizardry. Whatever it was bottle it and take it with to Rider on Thursday.

The Peacocks are 3-11 in MAAC play and 8-16 overall.

St. Peter's at home this afternoon at 2pm

The Peacocks are at the Yanitelli Center for a 2pm tip-off with Siena. This is one of those games on the schedule that looks oh-so-winnable for St. Peter's. A couple wins in the next couple weeks could well prep the Pride of Jersey City for a nice run in the MAAC Tourney. It would at least help make them a tough out.

St. Peter's at home today at 2pm

So get your butts over to Kennedy Boulevard and make your way to the Yanitelli Center for a 2pm tipoff with Fairfield. The Peacocks are having a tough season and since there are no football games for you to use as an excuse bunky, go show the Peacocks some love. The Pride of Jersey City with a win can jump up two places in the standings.

Oh and the guys on Kennedy Boulevard are not "game valets", they are stealing your car.

St. Peter's topped NEC champs LIU-Brooklyn last night in an offensive show

St. Peter's hasn't exactly been an offensive machine this season but last night The Pride of Jersey City were en fuego on their way to an 80-67 beat down of LIU-Brooklyn, who won the NEC last year. Desi Washington was really lights out for the Peacocks. He had 28 while Yvon Raymond had a very strong game as well. St. Peter's was a little streaky last night and you can't always count on those nice runs but boy when you get a night when they happen it's frosting on the cake.

St. Peter's is 5-5 (as is LIU-Brooklyn for those keeping score) and play at home again this Saturday against Loyola of Chicago Illinoize who start three players with the last name of Ditka. Come on out to the Yanitelli Center at 2pm and see some great college action. It's not like the Devils are offering you anything.

St. Peter's continues to roll on

The Pride of Jersey City®, the St. Peter's Peacock's men's basketball team topped Loyola in the Windy City yesterday (wasn't it maybe windier HERE?) 71-67. A big win for the team and a good showing for the MAAC in this non-conference showdown.

Now, the big games come this week. St. Peter's, Iona (Friday night at 9 pm at the Yanitelli Center) and Rider (next Sunday on the road) ALL of whom have 11-5 conference records and somebody's gotta go home sad so the logjam at 2nd in the MAAC will be broken. St. Peter's needs to win at least one of these games heading into the conference tourney if for no other reason than confidence when one of these teams show up across the tourney bracket.

it's time to get behind OUR Peacocks Jersey City, see you Friday at the Yanitelli Center.

Big game for St. Peter's today at the Yanitelli Center vs. Rider

That's right kids, at 2 pm today the 'Pride of Jersey City®', the St. Peter's Peacocks will be in action at home over at the Yanitelli Center for a huge MAAC matchup with Rider. Both St. Peter's and Rider come into the game tied for second place in the MAAC with identical 7-3 records. With a win today and a game next Friday at conference bottom feeder Niagara, the Peacocks would be looking strong for a #2 seed in the conference tourney.

St. Peter's dumps Monmouth 58-34

It was a complete rout here at the Yanitelli Center, the Peacocks gave 'em hell and then some. #4 Ryan Bacon, and #15 Wesley Jenkins set the tone early, and we mean early. St. Peter's improves to 1-1 overall with the 24 point win.

Gotta say, this sure was fun. Arriving about 5:35 am and seeing everyone who was all dressed up and had been up partying all night. Now, to catch a cab back to Journal Square for the train ride up to Grove Street. Thanks St. Peter's you've made lovely hosts.

Seton Hall hits late shot, beats St. Peter's 53-51

For 39 minutes plus last night at the Prudential Center, St. Peter's gave giant Seton Hall all they could handle. Leading 51-50 St. Peter's had to watch The Hall's Eugene Harvey hit a buzzer beating 3 pointer to lift the Big East Pirates to a 53-51 victory.

As we all know St. Peter's starts at home Tuesday morning at 6 am at the Yanitelli Center and as mentioned, ESPN will be carrying the game live. Johnny IS planning on being in attendance to get some pictures and give you all some live updates at this basketball McMuffin kind of day...

St. Peter's basketball, don't forget kids, the fun is just about to start

The St. Peter's Peacocks of the MAAC and Jersey City residents begin their hoops season Friday night at the Prudential Center vs. Seton Hall but that really cool special live ESPN Game is at 6 am next Tuesday morning at the Yanitelli Center. You read that right, in order to get themselves on live teevee, St. Peter's is playing a 6 am game here next Tuesday morning.

Gooooooo Peacocks! You can get a season preview here.

Set your clocks for the St. Peter's vs Monmouth basketball game--No, really, set your clocks

Smaller and mid-sized colleges will do anything to get on the golem that is ESPN and have their games shown live. St. Peter's is no exception. In order to get in on the College Basketball Tip-off Marathon, wherein ESPN will show 19 games in 24 hours on their network of stations, St. Peter's has agreed to change the staring time of their November 17th game vs Monmouth to....6 am. Yes, not PM but AM. As in 'wakey wakey eggs and bac-y' 6 am.

The game will be broadcast like from St. Peter's Yanitelli Center so if you simply aren't a 'go to a basketball game at 6 am' kinda person it will be on the teevee. Johnny has pretty much decided he's gonna go, since he gets up at 5:30 in the morning as it is, why not have some basketball with your coffee...

Sadly, St. Peter's basketball season came to an end yesterday

The St. Peter's Peacocks, the pride of Jersey City, lost their quarterfinal game in the MAAC tournament 67-58 to Rider. The Peacocks will end their season at 11-19 overall and 8-10 in the MAAC. They really had shown improvement over the last few weeks of the season, winning 5 of their last 7 games. This bodes very well for St. Peter's as they will return everyone but two seniors, Akeem Gooding and Ismaila Traore, next year. Big things are brewing in Yanitelli Center next season, we can feel it. Is a MAAC title within reach next year? Could be Peacock fans, could be.

St. Peter's Peacocks are on a three game winning steak

Jersey City's own St. Peter's Peacocks are on a three game winning streak in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and have improved their record to 9-17 with a 6-10 conference record. The latest victory was over Marist College 72-62 and unlike the last two victories, the Peacocks salted this one away earlier than their last possession. Some great defense held Marist without a 2 point field goal for the first 13 minutes. St. Peter's coach John Dunne said defense is the thing that's driving the team; "We are defending a lot better, we are focusing on our game-plan a lot better..."

Akeem Gooding had 23 points for St. Peter's.

St. Peter's is home again at the Yanitelli Center February 27, vs league foe Iona. They next play on the road at Youngstown State on Feburary 21.
