Saint Peter's is one of the slower teams in the MAAC ranking 331st in the nation in scoring putting up 64 points per game on average. The Peacocks slow things into the half court and lean on their defense which ranks 30th in the nation in points allowed. The Peacocks play a unique brand of ball in comparison to many other teams in the MAAC, but Rider doesn't really play all that fast either when given the option.

Rider was looking good for awhile in their last outing on the road against Manhattan, but the Broncs came up just short in the closing minutes losing to the Jaspers by a final of 73-76. This was a disappointing result for the Broncs, who've been having their fair share of success in conference play now standing 11-6 overall and 4-2 in the MAAC. Rider plays at a slightly faster pace than the Peacocks ranking 182nd in the nation in scoring average and 219th in total defense. In their last home game Rider beat Niagara by a final of 89-78 and the Broncs are riding a 4 game home winning streak. The Broncs are led by Kahlil Thomas who's averaging 14 points per contest.

This a great chance for Rider to get back on track today at home against the Peacocks. Saint Peter's almost always keeps things close given their slow style of play, but behind their home crowd advantage we like the Broncs to bounce back as they go on to cover the spread. Take RIDER here this afternoon.
