03/08/2025 | 2:00 PM ET | Draddy Gymnasium, NY

Manhattan
Moneyline Pick: Manhattan (-155) - B+

Manhattan’s backcourt sets the tone early, entering this matchup on a two-game winning streak that contrasts with Siena’s recent skid, and the Jaspers should capitalize on their in-form guard rotation while Siena suffers from a nagging ankle injury to its C. With more than 41 games played, both squads eye postseason hopes, but Manhattan’s proven top scorer has historically fared well against the Saints, giving an edge in offensive consistency. This bet earns a B+ rating for strong likelihood and a decent return if it hits.

Over/Under Pick: Over 149, (-110) - B+

Siena’s sharpshooting rookie guard enters this matchup determined to snap the Saints’ two-game losing skid against a Manhattan squad riding a modest three-game win streak. Despite Siena missing its starting center due to an ankle injury, their perimeter threats remain intact, and Manhattan’s frontcourt star—known for torching Siena with back-to-back double-doubles—looks poised to capitalize once again. Historically, these teams put up points fast when they clash, and the pace set by both backcourts suggests a scoring outburst above the current total of 149. Grade: B+ for its strong chance to cash in if you’re seeking a solid return.


Spread Pick: Siena, +2.5 (-110) - B+
Siena’s recent two-game losing skid contrasts sharply with Manhattan’s brief but energizing winning streak, setting the stage for an intense matchup in Draddy Gymnasium. After verifying active rosters, Siena’s backcourt remains intact despite a nagging ankle issue for one of its key scorers, while Manhattan’s frontcourt stability should help them press early. Historically, Siena has covered in tight conference clashes, hinting that the +2.5 cushion could be decisive. This wager is graded a solid B+ for reliability, and it offers a worthwhile return if the Saints hold steady against the Jaspers’ pressure.
