Two small plays:
Manhattan -4
Manhattan is the #1 team in the league and is coming off a loss at home to Fairfield. The Jaspers won't lose 2 in a row. Unlike Manhattan, Iona is very inconsistent. They looked great vs Niagara and then they play like crap at Rider.
Iona shot really poorly in their last game and I'll take the better team to cover the relatively small number here, especially since I'm pretty confident Manhattan will win SU.
This is a televised game on MSG at 4PM.
Niagara -16.5
As Box points out L-M is 7-1 ATS on the road and has covered a lot of big numbers this season. I took them last time out because of the loss of Canisius' leading scorer. L-M kept it close throughout but almost gave away the cover down the stretch.
Niagara is playing well and they need this game to stay in the top 4 of the MAAC, which gives them a bye in the first round of the tourney.
L-M has been cooling their heels (literally) in Buffalo since their last game at Canisius.
I don't usually play this much chalk but I'll take the better team to try to cover the big number at home.
Again, both are small plays.
