What to Know

The St. Peter's Peacocks and the #10 Purdue Boilermakers are set to clash at 7:09 p.m. ET March 25 at Wells Fargo Center in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

St. Peter's earned some more postseason success in their game on Saturday. They came out on top against the Murray State Racers by a score of 70-60. St. Peter's' forward KC Ndefo was one of the most active players for the team, dropping a double-double on 17 points and ten boards along with six blocks. Ndefo hadn't helped his team much against the Kentucky Wildcats last Thursday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Meanwhile, the Texas Longhorns typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday the Boilermakers proved too difficult a challenge. Purdue picked up an 81-71 win. They relied on the efforts of forward Trevion Williams, who had 22 points in addition to seven rebounds, and guard Jaden Ivey, who had 18 points.

The Peacocks are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a nine-game streak of ATS wins.

Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: St. Peter's have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 38.40%, which places them fourth in college basketball. But Purdue comes into the contest boasting the fourth highest field goal percentage in college basketball at 49.20%. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
