Tough game.
Not only is Baron a tremendous offensive player, his defense is excellent as well. He is such a heady player, I've really been impressed with him the few games that I have seen. If he is not MAAC player of the year soemthing is wrong.
Heath is their stretch 5 similar to Olander shooting 46% from 3
Manhertz is a beast.
Perez is a decent player
Zach Lewis is shooting 41% from 3
Besides Fairfield I'd love to see this team win the MAAC tournament this year. I think they could win a game in the NCAA's just on the sheer willpower and talent of Baron.
I'd be surprised if the spread is less than 9.

Agree that Baron is tremendous. I got an email today from a Hoops expert from Bridgeport that equated Billy Baron to Joey Desantis. And after thinking about it, I feel there are very much the same ...... Except Baron is a physically stronger player; however, the combination of being a scorer and playmaker makes everyone on their team better. The words special, unique, and unforgettable best describe both of them. Bottom line is that if we can stop or control Baron, then we can win this game.
We have had to overcome a lot of challenges this year, and the current one is to play 40 minutes instead of just 30. Hopefully, we can see a Manhattan repeat. I would also like to see the KJ-Jenkins combo to take the next step in their confidence and chemistry.

Daniel Curry Index has Canisius as a 9 point favorite this afternoon.
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Canisius 76.4 at FAIRFIELD 67.4, 1:00 PM ET Niagara 76.7 at MARIST 81.2, 7:00 PM ET Quinnipiac 76.3 at SIENA 78.5, 7:00 PM ET
The Vegas line has Canisius as a 5 point favorite.
Canisius is now tied with Iona for first place in the MAAC as Manhattan lost last night 85-73 at Iona.

That spread is suspiciously low ...just like the Manhattan game. Hopefully we can have a similar result.
