Your Marist College Red Foxes head South to New Rochelle to take on the Iona Gaels. Marist opens as a 7 point underdog to the mighty Gaels to open MAAC play. The Gaels sports an revamped roster and coaching staff but look to have not missed a beat. Their scoring leader is Harvard (yes, Harvard) grad transfer Idan Tretout averaging an outstanding 17 ppg. Hynes is typically a house of basketball horrors for the Foxes featuring some late game collapses. Marist is coming off a game in which they accomplished a very non-Marist thing…..not playing down to their opponents level. Let’s see if they can play up to an opponent tonight. Something they haven’t been able to do in their two losses. My early season observations tell me that Marist is better than a 7th place team in this year’s MAAC. Tonight should help clarify just how delusional I am.  |

Marist is statistically about a mirror image of Iona. Iona has advantage in ft percentage, marist in overall FG percentage. Iona has faced better competition and I do think they are a smidge more talented, but closest we have been forever. I see Iona winning, as it's home conference opener and tobins first game. Whatever crowd that is there should be fired up. I see iona winning a close game, but marist positively can win if they play well

Nice start. Moving the ball well and doing a reasonably good job against the Gaels pressure defense. Both coaches shuffling players in and out like it’s an OOC game. Really early to play a league game.

Offense hard to come by for both teams so far.

Defensive battle. Both teams are playing great defense. Iona can't shoot for their lives. Damn.

This is brutal to watch. The refs could have fouled out both squads already. McCool now holds the record for shortest appearance with committing a foul.
