Quinnipiac is coming into this game not playing very well in their recent games. They have lost 6 straight games and they have lost 9 of their last 10 games, just spiraling out of control near the end of the season. They are coming off of a loss to Iona in their last game by double digits but most of their losses in that span were by single digits and were actually close games. This game is on a neutral site which Quinnipiac has not played in one all season but they have struggled away from home with a 4-9 record on the road. They are going up against a Marist side that has not played in any neutral site games either but they have been much better than Quinnipiac on the road this season and against conference opponents as well. Marist has not been playing that well either though as they have lost their last 2 games and both losses were by double digits. Marist has also struggled against Quinnipiac this season as they lost by 7 on the road and only won by 1 point at home when they played them there. This is the first round of the MAAC tournament for both teams so both are going to try their best in this game. This game will be very close and only decided by a few points but Quinnipiac has been coming so close to winning recently they are bound to get one here while Marist has been falling recently and they have been getting blown out as well. Quinnipiac should win this game by just a few points.
