Canisius at Manhattan

Second straight road game for Canisius, and their fourth road game in six contests. This is a huge game as these teams are tied at 14-5 in the MAAC with one other team for second place. While Canisius is 4-3 straight up the last seven games, Manhattan enters the game having won seven of its last eight games, including a dramatic 80-77 win over first-place Iona here on Friday night.  This Manhattan offense is sizzling, 36th in the nation in points scored (77.8 points per game), plus they are second in the MAAC in scoring defense and in scoring margin (+8.1). Manhattan is so balanced, third in the MAAC in field goal shooting, plus tops defensively allowing 39.9% shooting. The Canisius Golden Griffins are ninth in the 11 team league in field goal shooting defense and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings, so the value is to grab the home team to win the game. Play Manhattan on the money line.
