What to Know
After three games on the road, the Rider Broncs are heading back home. The Broncs and the Marist Red Foxes will face off in an MAAC battle at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Alumni Gymnasium. The teams split their matchups last year, with Rider winning the first 76-64 at home on the road and Marist taking the second 76-67.
Rider was expected to have a tough go of it this past Friday, and, well, they did. Their painful 80-54 defeat to the Iona Gaels might stick with them for a while.
Meanwhile, Marist came up short against Iona this past Wednesday, falling 78-71.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Broncs are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 1-4 against the spread when favored.
The losses put Rider at 3-7 and the Red Foxes at 2-4. Rider is 2-4 after losses this year, Marist 2-1.
