Even though St. Peter’s has not done well against Canisius recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), they didn’t let the past get in their way on Sunday. The Peacocks narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Golden Griffins 54-52.
We saw a pretty high 159.5-over/under line set for Duquesne’s previous match, but the actual score was more down to earth. They came out on top against the Thundering Herd by a score of 85-72 on Wednesday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Duquesne.
