JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The Saint Peter's men's basketball team plays its final nonconference game of the regular season on Monday when the Peacocks tip off against Centenary (N.J.) at noon ET at Run Baby Run Arena.

Bryce Eaton has heated up in his last few outings, averaging 17 points, 4.3 assists and three rebounds in games against Canisius, Niagara and Georgetown. The backcourt duo of Eaton and
