Marist vs Niagara Prediction
The Niagara Purple Eagles will have their chances at home, where five of their seven wins have come, but I’m laying the bucket with Marist. The Marist Red Foxes have five road wins this season, so they’re not going to be scared of the environment. Marist is also playing its best ball of the season, with wins in nine of its last 10 games. Marist plays better defense and has won four of the last five games against Niagara. The Niagara Purple Eagles are not only losing games while their offense sags behind, but they’re 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. Hard to find confidence in Niagara right now. Give me Marist and the small number on the road.
