Brett Comer averages 13.0 points per game, and has a 32-to-9 assist-to-turnover ratio.

With a win on Monday, Marist will play at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. A loss means the Red Foxes' Tuesday contest will tip at 2:30 p.m. Marist will face either San Francisco or Hawaii on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the Red Foxes will face either Green Bay, East Carolina, Fresno State or Evansville. Game time will be determined by the team's results on Monday and Tuesday, and will take place at either noon, 2:30 p.m., 6 p.m., or 8:30 p.m.
