Two of the MAAC’s hottest teams meet Sunday as the Canisius Golden Griffins host the streaking Manhattan Jaspers.
What would’ve been an afterthought victory on paper for league-leader Canisius just one month ago suddenly isn’t so cut-and-dry.
Manhattan has flipped the script to discover late momentum while winning four-of-five —the Jasper’s only loss in that period coming 51-49 vs. Sienna.
Meanwhile, Canisius has continued its fine conference play by wining three straight, and seven-of-nine.
However, both Canisius and Manhattan have lived dangerously with recent narrow victories: Canisius holds a slim +3 PPG advantage over its three previous downed opponents.
Manhattan’s last win came 64-60 Friday against host Niagra —this following the aforementioned Sienna loss.
Manhattan Jaspers
Infused by a little winning of late, the Jaspers shot 47% from deep and 12-of-14 from the line while invading Niagra’s home-floor.
Three Manhattan players added double-digit scoring vs. the Purple Eagles — Freshmen Samir Stewart, Tykei Green (14 each) and sophomore Ebube Ebube (11).

Perhaps it took a team rostering eleven underclassmen a chunk of season to find themselves in a competitive, evenly-matched conference.
Tonight’s encounter opposite an experienced, league leading opponent will show if the Jaspers’ growing pains are fading as conference tournament play rapidly approaches.
Canisius Golden Griffins
As that tournament approaches, and five regular-season starts remain, Canisius holds hopes of dancing deeper into March.
For the Griffins to give themselves the best chance to perhaps become Cinderella, though, each remaining game becomes a must-win.
Canisius has responded by winning three razor-thin contests, including two road grinders, leading into tonight’s showdown.
The Golden Griffins last held serve from home Friday night, 72-68 vs. Fairfield.
To secure another cardiac win, Canasius’ Scott Hitchon added 21 points, and Jallani White 16, as the Griffin’s bench held a decisive 17-8 scoring edge over the Stags’ reserves.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Canisius is 4-1 SU in its last five games.
- Manhattan is 4-1 SU in its last five games.
- Canasius is 4-6 SU at home this season.
- Manhattan is 2–10 SU on the road this season.
Free Manhattan Jaspers vs. Canisius Golden Griffins NCAAB Prediction:
When two streaking teams battle near season’s end while jockeying for a chance to win an obscure league title and step onto the biggest stage, nerves and experience become an x-factor.
Canisius owns an undeniable experience edge, and perhaps composure advantage over Manhattan.
However, the Golden Griffins, while subpar at home, still have home-crowd support against a Manhattan team that’s just 2-10 on the road.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Jaspers ATS
Expect this sole 18-19’ meeting between Canisius and Manhattan to be hotly-contested from beginning to end.
Though, with intangibles, local support, and familiar rims in their favor, Canisius will pick up another close victory.
NCAAB Free Score Prediction: Canisius 68 – Manhattan 64
