- Niagara barely escaped against a horrible Siena team last time out and we do not have much faith in them to perform better against a decent Marist team.
- Marist is exceptional on defense, allowing just 62.8 points per game on the season.
The Niagara Purple Eagles will face off with the Marist Red Foxes on March 14, 2024 at 6:30 pm ET. The opening betting odds from DraftKings Sportsbook have the Marist Red Foxes as 1.5 point favorites in this MAAC tournament quarterfinal game from Atlantic City.

One of two MAAC quarterfinal games to take place on Thursday is Niagara vs Marist. In that matchup, the defense of the Marist Red Foxes should make the difference, as we expect the Red Foxes to win and cover the spread. After Niagara barely got by a Siena team that earned just four wins on the season in their MAAC tournament opener, there is very little reason to have faith in the Purple Eagles in this contest from the boardwalk in AC.
