I did a full statistical breakdown and analysis for Marist game.
The following stats are conference only stats.
Scoring margin Marist - 5 Manhattan -2.3
A/to ratio Marist -1.25 Manhattan +o.4
Rebound margin Marist -1.3 Manhattan -4.2
Ft percentage Marist 71.4 Manhattan 66.6
Fg percentage/3pt percentage
Marist .424/.327 opponents .438/.372 Manhattan .442/.351 oppo .432/.357
Blocks/steals Marist 3/5.5 Manhattan 3/7.3
Things that stand out. Marist defends the 3 poorly, Manhattan rebounds terribly. Manhattan shoots FT poorly. If you just go by stats, Manhattan should win by 3 or 4 points. But, alas, can't just look at stats. Two best players are Nelson and Gardner. Both teams don't defend well against the others strength. But easier to project an inside guy scoring pts against a bad interior defense than a perimeter guy shooting well from 3. Also, Manhattans poor FT shooting is huge in what should be close game.
My final analysis is Manhattan would win by 1 except the FT difference will be the key. Marist should be able to make 3 or more ft when you consider their inside game and better shooting percentage from line. So Marist will win by 2. My final score prediction is 67-65 Marist.

Harris need to play a good game. They kid has 60 or so games playing big minutes under his belt. He got the team handed to him due to the defections. Time for him to perform and lead.

We have seen him basically not seem to care all year. Now he just takes 3's. Drive the dang ball. But nope. I think it's going to have to be Brickner or Cooley who steps up with big game. Also, if Farris misses his first 2 3's, yank him. He can be a weapon when on, but a big detriment if not. Basically, we are going to need Dunne be locked in, make smart decisions. So, let's all pray a lot the day before.

Dung will be flapping his arms about while looking for Marist fans to eject.

Dunne has never won a MAAC tournament game since taking the job here and I don't expect that to change. What I do expect is the usual mail it in postseason effort that has them down 20 either by halftime or early 2nd half.

I surely don't want this to be Gardners last game ..We can't have a guy this good and go out in the first round .

Also a matchup of most experienced maac coach vs least experienced. i would refer u to 2019-20 season tourney against Niagara first year head coach Greg Paulus ..just saying ..Although previous to Marist I've always thought highly of Dunne's work during the tourney .

First men’s game went to overtime with the Mount beating Canisius by one point. Game just ended. Looks like it will be closer to 10:00 than the scheduled 9:00 for tipoff of the Marist game.

Way to extend our season!
The OT game helped us more than anything TM has done in the last 20 years!

Marist-like no show by Fairfield against the Peacocks, who will hold onto their crown for another 24 hours at least.
Marist alum Jay Young may well have a pink slip waiting for him when the bus returns to campus.

What exactly was the problem with Bashir Mason? I don't think he was ever planning on returning to Marist, he was just using the interview to get a pay bump from Wagner.
