Manhattan -2.5 doesn't make sense

[Scarface63]

Iona nearly beat these guys at home a few weeks ago. Iona has the hotter hand right now and I am puzzled why so much $ on Manhattan. Just noticed it went to -2.5. Iona shoots the ball better and is nearly 3% on FG and 3FG, and averages nearly 8 more PPG, including a slightly tougher SOS.

Iona clearly better on the offensive end, but Manhattan is no slouch. But do n't underestimate defense, and this is where Manhattan is much better then Iona. In MAAC games, teams shoot 5% worse vs the Jaspers....Manhattan rebounding margin is 5 boards better....in fact they outrebounded the #1 rebounding team in the country yesterday!
