Would be nice bounce back win against a st. Peters team that is 7-3 in the maac. I personally feel that record is a bit of a mirage. SPU is dreadful offensively, like disgustingly putrid. But they obviously have great coaching and players who thrive at end of game situations. They also shoot free throws well, so hopefully we don't get a foul fest. Marist played pathetic last game. But let's not forget they also played great just last weekend, wrecking canisius and putting up 80. This will be a painful game to watch stylistically. This win will help a lot in the goal to be in top 5 come tourney

Dunne 3-9 all time against SPU.
I believe the Peacocks will be without Corey Washington again. Big reason Siena kept it pretty close and why they lost they to Niagara on Friday.
Need a win because the game in Jersey City won't be easier than this one.

Time for the men to prove that 7-2 wasn’t a mirage.
If the current trend of play persists they are headed for an 8-12 record and an 8th place finish. MAAC Sports standings has Marist as a PIG team now. Iona and Rider who sandwich them in the standing are more talented teams who are figuring their winning formula out. I don’t count on them reverting. I suspect Marist needs to win 7 of the last ten to make the top 5. Definitely a tall order, but they do play a bunch at home and both Rider and Iona are on the schedule so opportunities are still in front of them.

Hopefully Brickner is getting closer to 100 percent. To me, he is the key player going forward. We know what we have. Good shootng, passing center, 2 talented freshman guards who are going to go through some ups and downs, a defensive athletic rebounding guy im Daughtry, and some good depth. We need Brickner to play like he was end of last season. If he gets to that level, and Marist has all starters playing in tourney, they have a tremendous chance to go to NCAA tourney. But we need Brickner back to what we know he is capable of when healthy. His effort is always there

How badly banged up is Noah Harris? Any timetable for his return?

I hate how Dunne takes out players after 2 minutes. It's a thing with him

Allen just got a 2nd foul. But I blame the coach. Why did they pull him after first foul 2 minutes in? Let him get into game flow.

This is as comfortable spot I have felt being down at half. No way we miss all those layups and close shots in 2nd half. Allen barely played. St. Peters shooting above average from 3. Marist should pull this out 2nD half. But Jesus, finish better down low guys

Iona thumping Rider after a tie game at halftime. Marist needs this one at home.
