What to Know
After four games on the road, Marist is heading back home. They will take on the Bucknell Bison at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Last Tuesday, it was a hard-fought match, but the Red Foxes had to settle for a 74-71 loss against the Wildcats.
Meanwhile, the Bison came up short against the Bonnies on Wednesday and fell 67-61.
Despite their loss, Bucknell saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Ian Motta, who scored 12 points, was perhaps the best of all. Another player making a difference was Jack Forrest, who scored 18 points along with 7 rebounds.
The losses dropped the Red Foxes to 2-2 and the Wildcats to 3-2.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Marist have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 32 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Bucknell struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 30 per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
