Canisius vs Marist Stats

Canisius Golden Griffins

Canisius has had a challenging season with multiple losses and a poor overall record. The team is currently on a seven-game losing streak and has only two wins this season. Despite their struggles, Canisius has shown some strong points in their shooting percentages, particularly in three-pointers and free throws. Paul McMillan IV has been a standout player for the team, leading in points per game. Despite individual success, the overall team performance has been lacking, especially defensively. Canisius is ranked low in offensive and defensive categories, and their season has been marked by poor rebounding and turnover statistics. With a power ranking of 315 and a 2-23 record, Canisius has faced significant challenges this season.

Marist Red Foxes Analysis

The Marist Red Foxes are currently ranked 226th in the country according to KenPom, with the third-best defense in their conference but lagging behind on offense. Despite this, they are on a two-game winning streak, showcasing their resilience and ability to perform under pressure. Standout player Josh Pascarelli leads the team in scoring and assists, with recent contributions from Tarik Watson and Elijah Lewis. While their record against the spread may not be spectacular, their balanced attack and defensive strength make them a legitimate contender for their conference's NCAA Tournament bid.

Marist Dominates Canisius in Recent Matchups, Favored in Upcoming Game

Marist has demonstrated superiority in their recent encounters with Canisius, emerging victorious and covering the spread in their last five head-to-head matchups. In their most recent game last month, Marist delivered a commanding performance on the road, shooting an impressive 52.8% from the field and securing a 23-point win over Canisius. Conversely, Canisius struggled to find their rhythm, only managing to convert 29.8% of their shots, with Paul McMillian notably struggling with a 5 for 20 shooting performance. The Golden Griffins' heavy reliance on McMillian has hindered their overall success this season. With Marist contending for a conference title, they appear to be the favored choice in the upcoming match against Canisius.
