Manhattan vs. Marist Betting Prediction
While Marist struggles on one end of the floor, Manhattan struggles on both ends. The Marist defense should dictate this game. Grabbing rebounds and forcing turnovers should give Marist ample opportunities for easy buckets in transition, alleviating the pressure on their offense.
Manhattan's road woes will continue, and Marist will stifle them en route to a victory.
Prediction: Marist -4.5 (-110)
