Marist vs Xavier Prediction

In this Marist vs Xavier Prediction, Xavier is coming as -11.5 home favorites, with the total set at 139.5 points. Both teams had similar records last season, but Xavier has dominating at home, while Marist had trouble in covering spreads, as they were 11-19 ATS. Marist was a top-20 defensive team last season, but their offense was struggling, ranking on the bottom-8 of the country. Xavier had the edge on the glass, while Marist dished out more assists, so this feels like a coin flip game and I see no value on either side. Marist had just 130.5 average total points last season and I expect them to do enough on both ends on the floor to keep this game a low-scoring one. Take the under in this one.
