WHAT TO WATCH FOR

PEACOCK TROUBLES: So far this season, Saint Peter’s has only one win in conference play — a victory against Loyola in the early part of the season. Since then however, things have been downhill for the Peacocks, who currently sit in 9th place in the MAAC. Nonetheless, look for them to come raring to go this Friday.

THREE-GAME STREAK: Look for Fairfield to build off its latest string of victories as it takes the court this Friday. However, the Stags must not discount the Peacocks’ scoring threats, especially after going into overtime against 10th seeded Iona this Tuesday.
