2/7 Play of the day

[kbm222]

Manhattan +18, this will be a single digit loss for them. Spread is way to high here.

[AMcBoarder]

I was looking at this one as well. +18 seems like a lot of points for Iona to cover. Good luck.

[oakas]

18 points is way too many points in this game.

[Romanov]

This is good

[daimoshokage]

Any more thoughts on this game? Manhatten got blown away by cansius while iona beay them, and only lost by a few the 2nd time. Loyola beat manhatten by 10, while iona kept it close. On flip side, they both only lost to a better Fairfield team, by like 4. Is 18.5 just too much for iona?

[kbm222]

Manhattan 5-1 ats away. They don't get blown away much at all and Iona doesn't blow anyone out. I also like the +10 1h play as well. Here are the last 5 games played by each team.

This game looks like a crap shoot, literally crap.

Iona has the 47th home scoring offense in the country, while Manhattan brings 71st ranked road scoring defense to Hynes Athletic Center.

Iona has five wins of 18 points or more, while Manhattan has four losses of 18 points or more.

Doesn't appear that there are any injuries of note in this game, but with Iona leading the MACC in scoring and at home, I think it's too risky to ask a 4-19 team to stay within the spread in the last of a FOUR game road trip.

[dotheopposite]

Manhattan is a risky bet. My reasoning is this is their 4TH away game in a row...that will wear a team down

[yankeerick]

make sense best thing is to stay away,i thing they lose by 12 but risky,i like
PITT-1 AS P.O.D BOL.
