Manhattan can finally bid farewell to their ten-game losing streak thanks to their game on Sunday. They walked away with an 84-78 victory over the Purple Eagles. Manhattan's offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

Not only did both teams in this Friday's match win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread.

They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last six times they've played.
