Marist vs Stony Brook Prediction 

Stony Brook was able to snap their losing streak with a win over Rider in their last game, but they have struggled to start this season. The Seawolves are shooting below 40% from the field and they are scoring just 66.4 points per game. Marist has won six of their last seven games, including a nice win over Richmond a few weeks ago. The Red Foxes are the much better team on both sides of the court and they should pick up a convincing win here. Take Marist on the road.
