Marist routed at home

Princeton came into the McCann Center and received a career-performance from sophomore Patrick Saunders in its 77-58 win.
Saunders went a perfect 8-of-8 from the field and scored 21 points. He averages 6.0 ppg for the now 8-5 Tigers.
Princeton shot 57.4 percent as a team and poured in 40 points in the first half. Although Marist shot a respectable 48.8 percent, the Red Foxes turned the ball over 14 times to Princeton's seven.
Candon Rusin paced Marist's offense with 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting. He did turn the ball over five times, however. Rusin's offensive effort matched his season high that he set in a loss to Vermont on Dec. 28.
Marist's leading scorer, Daye Kaba, scored eight points on seven shot attempts. He added six rebounds. As one of the more veteran players on the team, Kaba should have a larger offensive presence for Marist.
Maris't scoring is falling largely to the freshmen. Devin Price scored in double figures again, but he shot 4-of-12 from the field. With no interior scoring threat, it's hard to imagine Marist having many high-scoring outings. Price tallied 13 points and dished out five assists. Korey Bauer added nine points while hauling in five rebounds.
The 1-13 Red Foxes return to action Saturday for a home tilt against Canisius. The Golden Griffs are 2-2 in MAAC play and are coming off an impressive win over Iona.
Frank Turner has historically given Marist fits. He's averaging 16.7 ppg, and 5.1 rebounds and assists per game. Julius Coles and Greg Logins are also averaging double-digit scoring.
