Iona @ Marist

Current Records: Iona 10-4; Marist 4-8

What to Know

The Iona Gaels are 9-2 against the Marist Red Foxes since December of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Friday. Iona and Marist will face off in an MAAC battle at 7 p.m. ET at McCann Center. The Gaels won both of their matches against Marist last season (78-71 and 69-66) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

The St. Peter's Peacocks typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Iona proved too difficult a challenge. Iona enjoyed a cozy 73-55 win over the Peacocks.

Meanwhile, the Red Foxes' 2022 ended with a 73-54 loss against the Fairfield Stags last Friday.

Iona is the favorite in this one, with an expected 12.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (8-3), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Iona's victory lifted them to 10-4 while Marist's defeat dropped them down to 4-8. We'll see if the Gaels can repeat their recent success or if Marist bounces back and reverse their fortune.
