Why the Marist Red Foxes will win

  • Marist has won seven of its last eight games against non-Conference opponents at McCann Arena.

Why the Harvard Crimson will win

  • Harvard has won each of its last five day games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • Marist has lost six of its last eight games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Harvard vs Marist Prediction 

Harvard bounced back from their first loss of the season with a win over Army, but they will be on a back to back here. The Crimson only allowed 52 points on Saturday in that victory and they are shooting very well from the field. Marist has won two games in a row, but one was against a non-D1 team. The Red Foxes are shooting 50% from the field and they have also played strong defense to start this year. I think points are going to be at a premium in this one, so I like the under here.
