Mount St. Mary’s vs Marist Prediction
This line is a bit confusing because not only did Mount St. Mary’s beat Marist a couple of days ago, but it’s playing the better basketball overall. Even the first meeting in Marist back in December came down to the wire. Marist has lost four straight games and that includes a loss to Saint Peter’s as a three-point favorite. Marist hasn’t been able to find its offense lately and it’s usually difficult for a team to flip a switch just because it’s tournament time. I don’t want much to do with Marist right now, especially in the favorite role. I’ll grab the bucket with Mount St. Mary’s.
