Army vs Marist Prediction 

Marist comes into this matchup after picking up a very nice win against Richmond last time out and they will look for their second win in a row. The Red Foxes have allowed 75.5 points per game this season and they are only shooting 42.3% from the field, but they have played two decent teams. Army was blown out by Duke and won a tight game with Albany in their two D-1 games so far this season, but they are averaging about seven more rebounds per game. This should be a pretty close game, but I am taking Marist to build on that great second half against Richmond.
