The Manhattan Jaspers look like a good favorite when they take on the UMKC Kangaroos in the Gulf Coast Showcase at Germain Arena early Monday. Manhattan has started the season with pair of wins and its coming off a 73-69 win as a 3.5-point dog against Harvard. It held the lead for the majority of the game and shot a solid 49 percent from the field (58.8 percent from behind the arc). The Kangaroos have dropped three of their first four games of the season and took a 66-56 loss against Loyola Chicago their last time out. They're 2-6 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight neutral site games. The Jaspers meanwhile are 7-2 ATS in their last nine neutral site games.

My selection is an 8* play on Manhattan Jaspers.
