Army vs Marist Prediction
I’ll stick with Marist. The Red Foxes have shown a few flashes of their potential this year but they’re lacking some consistency through four games so far. In the tight loss to a pretty good Harvard team, Marist shot a sketchy 38 percent from the field, 66.7 percent (10-of-15) from the line and had 15 turnovers. A mild improvement in any one of those areas would have meant a victory for the Red Foxes. As it stands now, Marist has been below 63 points in two of their four games. The good news is that the Foxes should be able to match up well with a struggling Army team on Friday.
