Moneyline Pick: Iona (-110) - A-
Iona’s sharpshooting guard has propelled the Gaels through a three-game winning streak, setting them up for a confident challenge against a Manhattan squad that just snapped a modest surge and now sits on a two-game skid. The Jaspers could be missing their starting center due to a nagging ankle issue, while Iona may have to reshuffle its rotation if their top guard, nursing a mild calf strain, remains questionable. Historically, Manhattan’s power forward has struggled to contain Iona’s speedy offense, which has proven disruptive in several matchups between these bitter conference rivals. With both teams well past the 41-game threshold, playoff seeding looms large, amplifying the stakes of every possession at this late juncture. At -110, the Gaels receive an A- grade for their strong chance at a win and the respectable return on investment that could follow.
Over/Under Pick: Over 143, (-110) - B+
![]()
Iona’s sharpshooting guard, Mike Carter, enters on a three-game winning tear, ready to capitalize on Manhattan’s recent two-game slump (Team streaks). With the Jaspers’ starting forward out due to a nagging knee concern (Injury report), the Gaels look poised to hit their stride early and maintain an up-tempo pace (Historical pace). Carter has torched Manhattan in previous encounters, typically posting around 20 points while drawing extra defensive attention (Key matchup). Despite Manhattan’s record of 17-12 and Iona’s 15-16 tally, both squads are equally hungry to close the season strong, hinting at a furious back-and-forth likely to break the 143 mark. Tagline: Expect the scoreboard to light up and deliver a rewarding payoff—this Over bet stands at a B+ confidence level with solid earnings if it cashes.
Spread Pick: Iona, -1 (-105) - B
![]()
Manhattan’s veteran guard Ant Nelson, confirmed active via current team rosters, looks to snap a frustrating three-game losing stretch for the Jaspers, who stand at 17-12 overall and 12-8 in the conference. On the opposite bench, Iona enters on a two-game victory run despite earlier concerns about a key forward nursing a nagging ankle problem. Historically, Iona has claimed four of the last five tilts in this rivalry, suggesting they know how to exploit Manhattan’s defensive lapses. Taking Iona to cover the -1 spread carries a B rating for its moderate risk and rewarding payout potential.
