Canisius dropped their last three matches, three of which they had a chance to win but couldn’t finish off. In their 76-73 loss to Niagara on Friday night, they surrendered a 12-0 run late in the second half to blow a six-point advantage.
Despite outperforming the Purple Eagles, they were unable to complete the task.

But they do have good three-point shooting, ranking sixth in the MAAC with a 34.7% success rate on those attempts.
- The total went OVER in 4 of Canisius’ last 6 matches.

Canisius Golden Griffins vs Marist Red Foxes Predictions 2/5/2023
Last time out, Marist too let a lead slip away, losing 72-66 after a 65-60 lead vanished. The Red Foxes suffered their sixth straight defeat. They beat the spread by a significant margin, but they regret missing out on a beautiful victory.
As usual, Patrick Gardner was in charge, scoring 17 points and dishing out five assists. He scored 26 points on 11/15 shots against Canisius in the opening game.
They are more competitive on defense. They keep opponents to 66.2 points per game and 43.1% shooting from the field, both averages in the MAAC because of their slow tempo.
However, they also play terrible three-point defense, allowing their opponents to make 37.6% of their attempts from beyond the arc. That places them 343rd nationally and 11th in the conference, barely ahead of Canisius.
- The Marist Red Foxes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Marist’s last 5 battles.
- The Red Foxes are 0-5 SU in their last 5 matches.
Canisius Golden Griffins vs Marist Red Foxes. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Marist Red Foxes. Although the outcome of this game might not be as lopsided as the first game, Marist still has a greater chance to win.
Both offenses are ineffective, but Marist’s defense is a lot stingier. Marist made seven more field goals in the first match despite having nine fewer attempts, and it was evident.
This is another road test for Canisius, who struggled this season away from home. Marist will end up winning despite the ugly nature of the game, especially given how both teams recently performed in the second half.
The Marist Red Foxes will win to a predicted score of 69-66.
