Marist vs. Siena Prediction

I’m on the over here. I get that normally the MAAC is viewed as more of a defensive-minded conference. However, Siena has been really logging points in bunches at home this season, scoring 77, 84, 82, and 93 in their last four games at home and while Marist had some issues on the road, they’ve still scored 70+ points in three of their last four games. A total below 130 makes sense but still feels light given the form that Siena’s in at home and the fact that Marist is also respectable on the offensive end of the floor. I’ll roll with the over in this one.
