What to Know

UMBC will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will host the Saint Peter's Peacocks at 2:00 p.m. ET at Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena. The Retrievers are strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 90.2 points per game this season.

Last Thursday, everything went UMBC's way against Coppin State as UMBC made off with a 92-67 victory. The Retrievers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three matches by 25 points or more this season.

UMBC was working as a unit and finished the game with 18 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Coppin State only posted five.

Meanwhile, Saint Peter's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Monday after their fourth straight defeat dating back to last season. They took a 75-65 hit to the loss column at the hands of Rutgers.

Saint Peter's loss came about despite a quality game from Marcus Randolph, who went 7 for 12 en route to 22 points. The dominant performance also gave Randolph a new career-high in threes (four).

UMBC pushed their record up to 3-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. As for Saint Peter's, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-2.

Keep an eye on the arc in Saturday's contest: UMBC has made nailing deep shots look easy this year this season, having averaged 11.2 threes per game. However, it's not like Saint Peter's struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.7. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

While only UMBC took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. Going forward, Saint Peter's is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. This will be their first time playing as the favorites this season.
