St. Peter's @ Maryland

Current Records: St. Peter's 6-5; Maryland 8-3

What to Know

The Maryland Terrapins have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the St. Peter's Peacocks at 6:30 p.m. ET Dec. 22 at Xfinity Center. St. Peter's will be strutting in after a victory while the Terrapins will be stumbling in from a loss.

Maryland entered their matchup against the UCLA Bruins last week without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Things couldn't have gone much worse for Maryland as they lost 87-60. It was supposed to be a close game, and they were supposed to come out on top, but neither of those things ended up happening. The top scorer for Maryland was guard Ian Martinez (16 points).

Meanwhile, St. Peter's beat the Quinnipiac Bobcats 63-56 on Sunday.

This next contest looks promising for the Terrapins, who are favored by a full 22.5 points. Those burned by picking them against the spread last Wednesday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Everything came up roses for Maryland at home against the Peacocks when the teams previously met two seasons ago as the team secured a 90-57 win. Will Maryland repeat their success, or does St. Peter's have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
