Saint Peter’s vs Kentucky Odds
The Peacocks and the Wildcats will meet at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse for this one. Kentucky should be able to take care of business, but if Saint Peter’s defense can continue defending at a high level against one of the best teams in the country, this could be one of the crazier March Madness upsets that we have ever seen.

Saint Peter’s vs Kentucky Preview
This game will be played in a neutral arena. Both teams are going to look to advance to the second round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament.
Kentucky Looking To Cake Of Business
When thinking about the Wildcats, you think about one of the top programs in college basketball history. This is a game that they should be able to walk away with, considering just how much more talented they are than the Saint Peter’s Peacocks.
Kentucky’s going to be coming into this one after finishing 26-7 overall and 14-4 in the star-studded SEC. They ended up losing in the SEC tournament to the Tennessee Volunteers, 62-69.
Keion Brooks Jr. led the way with 19 points in the loss to Tennesee.
Saint Peter’s Has To Keep Defending
The Saint Peter’s Peacocks are a small Jesuit school in Jersey City, New Jersey. This is obviously going to be an extremely tough game for the Peacocks to win, but this team is relentless and they defend at an extremely high level.
They’re not going to be scared coming into this one; they’re going to do everything they can to at least make it tough on this Wildcats team. Saint Peter’s is going to be coming in after winning the conference tournament where they were able to beat Monmouth in the championship, 60-54.
In that game, Doug Edert led the way with 20 points for the Peacocks.

Free CBB Picks — Saint Peter’s vs Kentucky
For this game, I really like the under in this one. I do have some more doubts that Saint Peter’s might not be able to contain a high powered offense like Kentucky, but if what they have shown all season long is any indication, I think that they could keep this one in range, and they’re going to have to do so by playing high-level defense, which means that this should be a low-scoring game.
