The Marist Red Foxes and the Columbia Lions meet in college basketball action from the LEvien Gymnasium on Friday night.

The Marist Red Foxes come into this game looking to bounce back from a 77-73 overtime loss to American in their last game. Raheim Sullivan led the Red Foxes with 23 points on 9 of 16 shooting with a pair of steals while Jordan Jones added 14 points on 7 of 10 shooting with 3 blocks and Ricardo Wright chipped in 13 points to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Marist in the loss. Samkelo Cele and Matt Herasme each had a team-high 6 rebounds in the starting five while Braden Bell added 6 boards as well off of the bench. As a team, Marist shot 45.6% from the field, 21.1% from three and 58.3% from the foul line this season.

The Columbia Lions will try to rebound after a 77-67 loss to Fordham last time out. Geronimo Rubio De La Rosa led the Lions with 16 points on 6 of 14 shooting with 4 threes and a team-high 5 rebounds while Liam Murphy had 13 points on 6 of 10 shooting with 3 assists and Ike Nweke had 11 points with 5 rebounds and 3 assists to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Columbia in the losing effort. As a team, Columbia shot 48.2% from the field, 38.1% from three and 50% from the foul line in the loss.

Marist is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss and 4-1 ATs in their last 5 games as a favorite while the under is 12-4-1 in their last 17 Friday games. Columbia is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Friday games and 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a loss.

I get the case to be made for both sides here, but I’m looking at the under in this one. Marist isn’t a high-scoring team to begin with and I don’t think this year’s Red Foxes will be any different while we’re still seeing rust from Columbia after not playing last season. I think this game is the first to 60 wins, so give me the under here.
