Marist vs. Quinnipiac

The opening game of the MAAC tourney and tournament play can mean intense defense with so much at stake. Marist prefers a slow pace anyway, and the UNDER is 8-2 when they play at neutral sites, as well as 6-2 UNDER after scoring fewer than 50 points in their previous game. Marist is also 7-3 against the spread after a defeat, including 6-2 ATS after a spread loss. The Red Foxes went 5-6 from January 25th until the end of the season after starting the year 1-18. They are a dog to a Quinnipiac team that is close to .500 overall and on a 1-4 run. Quinnipiac is 2-5 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400, including a 72-71 game against Marist the last meeting as -7 chalk. Marist is 4-0 against the spread the last four meetings. The Bobcats are just 4-11 in March games under head coach Tom Moore as they fold down the stretch. Grab the dog in a low-scoring, defensive tourney game. Take Marist straight-up and against the number and take the game total UNDER.
