Merrimack is 12-2 against MAAC opponents and is the only team to rank in the top three in both offensive and defensive efficiency in conference play, per KenPom. Freshman guard Kevair Kennedy is one of the best players in the conference and he carved up the Foxes for 20 points in the first meeting between these teams, a 13-point win at Marist back on Jan. 19. Tonight they’re playing the return game in North Andover, where Merrimack is 8-0 straight up and 7-1 against the spread, so I like laying the short number with the Warriors.
