Game Preview
The Peacocks (15-9, 12-4 MAAC) finds themselves in the race for the regular-season title, only trailing Merrimack by a slim margin. Losing to Sacred Heart on Feb. 13, they bounced back with a win over Fairfield on Feb. 15.

The two programs have had 132 meetings in their history, and the result is 76-56 for the Gaels. The last matchup was in January this year when Saint Peter’s won 77-63 on the road.
Saint Peter’s vs Iona Predictions
Saint Peter’s already secured its place in the MAAC Tournament, having one of the best records in the conference. However, they have a chance to compete for the regular-season title as a win here will bolster their chances. However, their road struggles leave them vulnerable as Iona can defend homecourt with quality play on both sides of the ball to stun the Peacocks. Our betting pick here is the Gaels to defend a 1-point spread.
