Manhattan vs Quinnipiac Prediction 

Manhattan comes into this matchup struggling over the last few weeks and they have scored 64 points or fewer in three of their last four games. The Jaspers are shooting 43% from the field and they are allowing 81 points against per game. Quinnipiac has dropped two in a row and they allowed 83 points last time out. The Bobcats are shooting 44% from the field, but they have the much better defensive numbers on the season. I think Quinnipiac will get the win, but I don’t like laying this many points in the MAAC. Take Manhattan here.
