Road/Home Splits
- In MAAC play, the Peacocks have had drastic differences between road and home performances.
- Saint Peter's has won five straight at home, the longest streak for the team since the 2007-08 season.
- The Peacocks have lost eight straight road MAAC games. They haven't won a road game since December.
March
- The Peacocks come into the final game of the season tied for fifth place in the MAAC standings. They defeated Monmouth and Niagara in back-to-back games which moved them up to fourth, but fell to Rider and Siena in their last two games. They have a 9-10 record in conference and would be the seven seed if the conference tournament started today.
- The Peacocks can still finish anywhere between fifth and eighth place in the conference standings. Fifth place earns a bye, while sixth through eighth plays on opening day.
- Conference standings for both men and women will return to overall MAAC wins this season and will not be based on MAAC winning percentage.
