Manhattan is riding a two-game win streak and the Jaspers are 4-1-1 ATS against a team with a losing record. Emmy Andujar had 14 points and Manhattan erased an early deficit to beat Fordham 71-57 in the Battle of the Bronx at the Barclays Center on Monday night. Niagara can't shoot (38%) or score (60 points per game), ranking #316 in the nation in scoring. The Purple Eagles are on a 0-4 ATS run, plus 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Manhattan leads the all-time series with Niagara by a 47-30 count and claimed both meetings last season. In the last meeting Manhattan cruised to a 90-72 win. As a unit, Manhattan averaged 84.0 points and 20.0 forced turnovers per game while shooting 54.1% from the field in taking both games from the Purple Eagles last year.
