MAAC Tournament Challenger: Quinnipiac (+330)
Quinnipiac bucks the trend of scrappy, low-scoring affairs that the MAAC typically provides. Head coach Tom Pecora has instilled pace and scoring into this team, the fastest tempo in the league. Conference Player of the Year Matt Balanc has an NBA bag with his isolation moves and is capable of rocking the rim if he's given the open floor. One of the more underrated guards in the country, Savion Lewis is the engine of the offense, ranking third in the nation in assists per game at 7.3. This veteran backcourt, paired with some strong free-throw shooting across the board, is exactly what you want to see out of a team heading into the high-leverage volatility of March.
