Saint Joseph's Hawks win 74-68 against a Penn team that cannot generate consistent offense despite strong three-point shooting. Saint Joseph's' superior defensive positioning and Saint Joseph's being favored by Vegas suggests the market respects their defensive structure more. However, Penn's home-court advantage and desperation will keep this closer than the spread suggests.
Predicted Score: Saint Joseph's Hawks 74, Pennsylvania Quakers 68

Key Factors to Consider

No major injuries reported for either side; both squads are expected to be at full strength.

West Virginia is undefeated at 4-0, averaging roughly 70.7 points per game on 43.5% shooting.
