Pick
I’m sticking with Rider here. Manhattan’s had a tendency to make life tough on the upper-tier MAAC teams this season, like beating Siena last time out and taking Iona to OT, but Rider is playing with some kind of confidence right now and I think they have enough momentum behind them to push for another win here. I’ll lay the points with Rider on the road here.
