Result: Loss
The set-up: The Marist Red Foxes have lost three in a row to fall to 4-7 on the season and will now travel to the Bob Carpenter Center this Tuesday night to take on the 5-5 Delaware Blue Hens, who are 3-0 SU at home.
Marist: The Red Foxes struggled on both ends of the court in the second half of their last game at home with Jacksonville (led 35-33 at the break), allowing the Dolphins to pull away for an 84-65 victory. Jacksonville went on a 16-3 to take a 53-38 lead, as the Dolphins would shoot 51.6% from the floor, including 11-24 from beyond the arc. Defense has been a problem for Marist, as the Red Foxes allow 80.4 PPG (310th) on 46.6 percent shooting (296th). Marist averages a modest 69.6 PPG on 43.2% shooting from the floor. A trio of guards are the lone double digit scorers on the team, with Hart averaging 17.8 PPG, Funk 13.3 PPG and Parker 13.0 PPG. The drop-off from those three is significant, as SF Lamb scores just 5.4 PPG and 6-8 center Brooks only 5.3 PPG. Neither of those frontcourt players rebound well either, as Lamb pulls down a modest 3.1 RPG and Brooks just 3.8 per game.
Delaware: The Blue Hens come in off back-to-back losses to fall to 5-5, after being defeated by the Seton Hall Pirates, 81-68, this past Saturday. Leading the way for the Blue Hens was Anthony Mosley who had 21 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and a steal. Like Marist, Delaware has a trio of guards averaging in double figures, although no one matches Hart. Mosley leads the way at 11.5 PPG but note that both Daly (11.0 & 6.0) and Hayes (11.0 & 4.9) are solid rebounders. So are 6-7 forward Corbett (9.3 & 4.6) and the 6-9 Carter (7.0 & 7.7). Delaware doesn't score much (67.0 PPG) but is strong on the defense end, allowing 65.7 PPG.
The pick: Kevin Hart arguably the best player in the MAAC but Delaware is the much better defensive and rebounding team. In three home games so far, the Blue Hems have outscore opponents 64.0-to-49.0 PPG. Make Delaware an 8* play.
