Manhattan @ Canisius

Current Records: Manhattan 11-8; Canisius 7-16

What to Know

Get ready for an MAAC battle as the Canisius Golden Griffins and the Manhattan Jaspers will face off at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at Koessler Athletic Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Canisius came up short against the Iona Gaels this past Friday, falling 70-62.

Meanwhile, Manhattan was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Friday as they fell 80-74 to the Niagara Purple Eagles.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Golden Griffins are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are 0-4 against the spread when favored.

Canisius is now 7-16 while Manhattan sits at 11-8. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Canisius has only been able to knock down 40% percent of their shots, which is the 11th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Jaspers have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.40% from the floor on average, which is the 18th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
