25% Bankroll Play

Since your putting 25% of your bankroll on this one play, can you give us your reasonings on why you think Manhattan is such a strong play? Thanks and good luck!
May be too much on one play, but I've done ok in hoops so far this season and am willing to risk some of my winnings.
My rationale:
Manhattan had done a pretty good job of convincing the rest of the MAAC that they were the team to beat.
Then they lost at home to Fairfield and to Iona in 2OT and the rest of the league is starting to think they're beatable.
Manhattan came back with a convincing home court win over L-M. But now they need a win against one of the top tier MAAC teams on the road to dispel any thoughts that they have peaked and that they can be beat in the upcoming league tourney. And with just one league game left after this one (Iona at home), Manhattan needs the wins to finish #1 in the league standings.
Who better to beat than Siena at home???
Siena is playing good ball right now and I don't think this will be as easy a win for Manhattan as the 16 point victory on their home court in early January.
But I'll take the best team with the best player in the league to get the SU win.
I would also recommend to you a more sensible money management system than throwing 25% at one play :nono:
...but WTF.

SUPER B..Great reasoning
SUPER B..Great reasoning
I like Manhattan to win and I suspect around 2 to 3 points. It will be a tough game and may come down to free throws at the end.
Manhattan can shoot free thows, they do have the best player,and like you said they will be out to get this game.
SIDE NOTE: if the line jumps up a point or two , this could be a "MIDDLE POSSIBILITY".
Good Luck...

We'll see.
I'd be more worried about Siena if they had a tough home court like Duke or someone, but in fact the Saints have played better on the road this year than at home.
Manhattan needs a road win under their belt before tourney time in which they need to win 3 straight road games to get the automatic berth.
