We saw a pretty high 160.5-over/under line set for Saint Joseph's previous matchup, but the actual score was more down to earth. They secured a 79-75 W over the Colonials on Wednesday.

Saint Joseph's got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Erik Reynolds II out in front who scored 20 points along with six assists and five rebounds. Reynolds II didn't help Saint Joseph's cause all that much against the Dukes last Saturday but the same can't be said for this matchup. Another player making a difference was Xzayvier Brown, who scored 16 points.
