Super Bowl Sunday’s (February 6) game tips-off at 2 p.m.  St. Peter’s is the hottest team in the MAAC and their 8-3 conference record places them solidly in second place.  The Griffs are also looking to avenge another early season defeat.  Hart Hotels will provide a couple of contest prizes during Sunday’s contest.
