GAME 9 • HOFSTRA 44, MANHATTAN 39<br />
DEC. 9, 2009 • MACK SPORTS COMPLEX, HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.<br />
The <strong>Manhattan</strong> men’s basketball team struggled shooting the ball at Hofstra falling 44-39 in<br />
the Mack Sports Complex. Jasper guards Patrick Bouli and Rico Pickett each scored 10 points in<br />
the second loss to a Colonial Athletic Association member. Pride forward Halil Kanacevic posted<br />
a double-double finishing with game-highs 11 points and 10 rebounds. <strong>Manhattan</strong> scored the first<br />
five points of the game, but then suffered from a scoring drought which it could not shake off for 11<br />
minutes. While the Jaspers struggled, Hofstra rallied for 19 unanswered points to take its largest<br />
advantage (14) of the game with 8:14 to go in the half. The Jaspers were fortunate for Hofstra’s<br />
12 turnovers in the first half to keep the game close at the break. <strong>Manhattan</strong> strung together four<br />
field goals in the final 2:30, with the last two buckets coming from Antoine Pearson, to pull within<br />
23-18 at intermission. <strong>Manhattan</strong> shot 6-for-30 (20%) from the field in the first 20 minutes of<br />
action. It was the Jaspers lowest shooting performance in a half since Jan. 24, 2009 at Madison<br />
Square Garden when they shot 17% versus Iona. <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s active defense, which forced<br />
seven steals, kept the contest in balance allowing for one last surge. The Jaspers generated a 7-0<br />
run over a three minute span with just under 10 minutes remaining to pull within two points. Bouli<br />
began the rally with four consecutive free-throws and Pickett capped it with a layup to cut the deficit<br />
to 36-34 with 7:03 left. Bouli sank all seven of his free-throw attempts in the game. Kanacevic<br />
answered by scoring the next five points to rebuild a 41-34 advantage at 2:29 to help Hofstra<br />
hold on to the finish. The Staten Island native shot 5-for-12 from the field and had three blocks.<br />
Teammate Greg Washington added another five blocks to the scoresheet. The Jaspers converted<br />
12-of-56 (21.4%) shot attempts in the game, including 2-for-14 from beyond the arc. Hofstra’s<br />
shooting percentage wasn’t much better as the Pride shot 18-for-52 (34.6%). <strong>Manhattan</strong> was outrebounded<br />
51-38. Pickett led the Jaspers with seven boards. Senior guard Darryl Crawford scored<br />
six points and grabbed six rebounds. Pearson also added six points and five rebounds.<br />

GAME 10 • MORGAN STATE 83, MANHATTAN 74<br />
DEC. 12, 2009 • HILL FIELD HOUSE, BALTIMORE, MD.<br />
Reggie Holmes scored 28 points on 9-for-16 shooting to lift Morgan State to an 83-74 victory<br />
over <strong>Manhattan</strong> in Baltimore. Five Jaspers scored in double-figures, including a 24 point and<br />
seven rebound effort from senior guard Darryl Crawford. Antoine Pearson recorded 12 points and<br />
became the 32nd player in program history to join the illustrious 1,000-point club. <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />
rolled out to a 12-7 advantage courtesy of efficient shooting by Crawford and Laurence Jolicoeur.<br />
Crawford got into his scoring mode early knocking down his first three field goals. Jolicoeur set<br />
the stage for the Jaspers best free-throw shooting effort of the year with four consecutive buckets<br />
from the line. The Jaspers hit 13 straight free-throws and finished the contest 24-for-26 (92.3%)<br />
from the charity stripe. <strong>Manhattan</strong> entered the game shooting just 60.9% from the line. Defensively,<br />
the Jaspers opened with a good effort on Holmes, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’<br />
top scorer, who was held to just one point over the first 10:30. The 6’4” senior guard entered the<br />
contest averaging 24.8 points per game. Morgan State used a 15-2 run to erase <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s<br />
initial lead (5) to take a 22-14 advantage on Holmes fast break layup at 6:22. Holmes scored 12<br />
of Morgan State’s final 19 points of the first half to help the Bears into intermission with a 33-28<br />
advantage. Crawford and Jolicoeur led the Jaspers at the break with 10 points apiece. Jolicoeur<br />
finished with a season-best 15 points going along with five rebounds. He shot 5-for-8 from the<br />
field. Morgan State opened the second half with six unanswered points to take a 39-28 advantage<br />
(17:14), which forced the Jaspers to battle up hill the rest of the way. Crawford responded scoring<br />
<strong>Manhattan</strong>’s first six points of the half to begin a scoring duel with Holmes. The Jaspers gradually<br />
chipped away at their deficit and cut it 49-48 with 10:25 to go on Pearson’s second 3-pointer of the<br />
game. Pearson was held scoreless in the first half, but contributed 12 points in the second stanza.<br />
About a minute later <strong>Manhattan</strong> came up empty on a possession which it could have taken the<br />
lead, and Morgan State rallied for a 9-0 run which was book ended by jump shots from junior<br />
guard Joe Davis. Davis sank a jumper at 8:17 to rebuild the Bears’ double-digit lead (59-49). The<br />
Jaspers continued to fight making it a six point game with 4:23 remaining, but Morgan State just<br />
received more offense from senior guard Troy Smith who hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the<br />
game out of reach. Smith had 15 points and Davis posted 8 points in reserve roles Morgan State<br />
got a double-double out of Kevin Thompson (13 points, 12 rebounds). Thompson led the Bears’<br />
77.8% (28-36) free-throw effort shooting 7-for-8 from the line. Rico Pickett and Brandon Adams<br />
led the <strong>Manhattan</strong> bench with 10 points apiece.<br />
