Two games ago against Canisius, Manhattan secured a 77-72 victory, and in the last game against Niagara, they secured an 85-70 victory. In the second half, they scored 47 points, and that was enough for the win. Manhattan had five different players that put up at least 10 points. 

Manhattan comes into this game with a 15-12 record overall, and they have a 16-10 record overall. Manhattan is averaging 75.8 points per game, and in each of the last two games, the offense has been quite impressive. The defense also hasn’t been great, but some of that is due to the game’s pace. Will Sydnor is averaging 14.5 points while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from behind the three-point line.

Total Point Facts

• Four of Sacred Heart’s last five games against Conference opponents have produced a total of 153 or fewer points.

Sacred Heart vs Manhattan Prediction

The first time these two teams faced off, the final score was 74-72, but this game will be even higher scoring. Both of these offenses are elite, and there will be no shortage of scoring in this game. Sacred Heart is averaging 76.1 points, while Manhattan is averaging 75.8 points per game. Both of these defenses have also been a major issue. Especially Sacred Heart’s defense on the road is going to let them down. The over is 6-0 in the Pioneer’s last six games following a straight-up win of more than 20 points. Zero defense will be played, and the over will end up cashing.
