More Saint Peter's preview

From SPC game notes.. don't know if these are on the web. Will try to do
this now for most MU men's games...especially the home games...





Peacocks Head Coach John Dunne
Ithaca Class of 92...comes to Saint Peter's after serving as an assistant at
Seton Hall for five years...is in his first season as head coach (2-2)...first win
came on opening day, a 67-56 win over UMBC at the Yanitelli Center...he
became the first Saint Peter's head coach since Bob Kelly to win his first
game on the Peacock bench...was named the 14th head coach in SPC history
on May 24, 2006...resides in Florham Park, NJ with his wife Marlene and
their daughter Chloe.


Tracking (Todd) Sowell's Block Party:
Todd Sowell (6-8 junior) entered the 2006-07 season 10th all-time at Saint Peter's with 76 blocks...he already holds the single season record with 57 last season and the single game record with seven against Canisius on 12/9/05...through four games
this season he has nine blocks, giving him 85 for his career and putting him in sixth
place on the all-time blocked shots list.




History: Saint Peter's vs. Monmouth
This will be the 34th meeting between these two New Jersey Institutions...the
first meeting was during the 1963-64 season, a 94-59 Saint Peter's victory...Last year Saint
Peter's came up with a 73-60 victory over the eventual NEC Champions in a
game that featured a pregame ceremony honoring the late George Jefferson last
season...this will be the 11th straight season that the Hawks and the Peacocks
have met...Saint Peter's holds a 6-4 advantage is the previous 10 meetings...the
Peacocks last won at Monmouth in 2002, 72-63.

Saint Peter's vs. Northeast Conference
Tonight (Saturday) is the second of three games against Northeast Conference opponents
for the Peacocks and their second in a row...Saint Peter's fell to FDU on Tuesday
night and will face LIU (12/31)...Saint Peter's is 150-77 (.660) against Northeast
Conference schools...their best record is against Fairleigh Dickinson (36-11) who
was Tuesday night's opponent...the Peacocks have played each school in the
NEC at least twice, except for Robert Morris and Sacred Heart...SPC has never
faced either team...the Peacocks also has a .500 or above record against every
team they have played in the NEC.

John Bunch's block stats make Sowell's look human...BUnch has a solid chance of breaking the MU record in basically 1 and a half years of hoopin with hawks...can you say no soup for you Sowell?

Sowell has nine of St. Peter's 12 blocks. Bunch has 17 blocks. Sowell is a good player though. Don't take him for granted.
