GAME 15 • MANHATTAN 76, SAINT PETER’S 53<br />

JAN. 8, 2010 • DRADDY GYMNASIUM, RIVERDALE, N.Y.<br />

The previous two times the Jaspers met Saint Peter’s at Draddy Gymnasium they needed<br />

buzzer beaters by Antoine Pearson to squeak past the Peacocks. On Friday in Riverdale the<br />

<strong>Manhattan</strong> men’s basketball team did not need such heroics as the Jaspers rolled to a 76-53<br />

triumph. Junior guard Rico Pickett led Jaspers charge for the third straight game finishing with<br />

19 points. <strong>Manhattan</strong> senior Brandon Adams tied a career-high with 15 points and added eight<br />

rebounds. Darryl Crawford posted 15 more points and equaled a career-high with five assists.<br />

<strong>Manhattan</strong> rushed out to a 40-26 advantage by intermission. The Jaspers shot 57.1% (16-28)<br />

from the field and rallied for a 15-4 run to break a 5-5 tie as they created double-digit separation<br />

(20-9) with 11:40 left before the break. The surge featured two 3-pointers from Pickett to go along<br />

with his emphatic alley oop. Pickett scored 10 points in the first half, but it was Crawford who led<br />

the Jaspers with 13 points shooting 3-for-4 from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes. Adams<br />

was equally impressive inside scoring seven of his points and grabbing five boards in the period.<br />

The Jaspers hot shooting carried over into the second half improving to a 63.6% (14-22) mark.<br />

<strong>Manhattan</strong>’s defense was also clicking as it forced eight turnovers, while holding the Peacocks<br />

to 34.8% (8-23) from the field and 2-for-9 (22.2%) from 3-point land. The Jaspers led by as many<br />

as 29. <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s bench rouse to the occasion as the Jaspers snapped a three game skid. The<br />

reserves were led by Pearson who was the fourth Jasper to score in double-figures with 10 points.<br />

Freshman George Beamon had a break out night scoring eight points in eight minutes without<br />

missing a shot. He was 3-for-3 from the field and 2-for-2 at the free-throw line. The Peacocks<br />

entered the game yielding a MAAC best 57.8 points per game. The Jaspers 60% (30-50) shooting<br />

effort was the program’s best since Nov. 27, 2004 when it shot 62.7% (32-51) in a 76-60 victory at<br />

Fordham. <strong>Manhattan</strong> also finished the night shooting a season best 53.8% (7-13) from downtown.<br />

GAME 16 • FAIRFIELD 88, MANHATTAN 85<br />

JAN. 10, 2010 • ARENA AT HARBOR YARD, BRIDGEPORT, CONN.<br />

Rico Pickett’s half court heave ricocheted off the front of the rim at the buzzer as <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />

was edged by Fairfield 88-85 in Bridgeport, Conn. Pickett led the Jaspers in scoring for the fourth<br />

straight game finishing with a career-high 29 points on a 13-for-20 shooting night. <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />

senior Darryl Crawford had 21 points and junior Laurence Jolicoeur contributed 14 points and<br />

nine rebounds. Fairfield was led by Anthony Johnson who had 27 points helping the Stags remain<br />

undefeated on their home court. The Jaspers scored 13 unanswered points erasing a 2-0 deficit<br />

after Johnson’s lay up 54 seconds into the contest and led the remainder of the first half. The<br />

Stags fell into a 0-for-6 shooting slump and missed all four free-throws over a four minute span<br />

following their initial bucket. The Jaspers gained momentum during this stretch as Pickett and<br />

Crawford found their shooting groove. The duo combined for <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s first 17 points. Fairfield<br />

battled back into the contest as their shots began to fall. The Stags converted 12-of-19 (63.2%)<br />

field goal attempts over the final 14:41 of the first period to pull within 39-37 at the break. Pickett<br />

had 15 points and Jolicoeur posted 10 points and seven rebounds as the Jaspers shot an efficient<br />

45.5% (15-33) in the opening 20 minutes. Defensively, the Jaspers were solid in the first stanza<br />

as they forced 12 Fairfield turnovers. The Stags turned the ball over 26 times in the contest.<br />

<strong>Manhattan</strong>’s senior guard Patrick Bouli contained freshman guard Derek Needham who entered<br />

the contest as the Stags leading scorer with 15.8 points per game. Bouli held Needham without<br />

a field goal for the first 15 minutes. Needham finished with 11 points, but was just 2-for-11 from<br />

the field. Fairfield stormed out of the gate in the second half as it rallied for the first seven points<br />

regaining the lead (42-39) on Sean Crawford’s 3-pointer at 19:08. Johnson also came up big for<br />

the Stags as he scored 17 second half points and did not miss a field goal (6-6). Johnson shot 10-<br />

for-12 from the floor and added eight rebounds in the game. The Stags got very familiar with the<br />

free-throw line in the second half as they converted 22-of-25 (88%) attempts. Fairfield shot 78.4%<br />

(29-37) at the charity stripe in the contest to <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s 88.5% (23-26) mark. <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s deficit<br />

did not grow larger than 10. The Jaspers continued the battle and used an 11-3 run to pull within<br />

77-76 with 2:36 remaining. Then with 1:23 left Pickett tied the contest at 80-80 on a lay up in transition<br />

after a defensive stop by Crawford who swiped the ball from Needham. The Jaspers had<br />

an opportunity to take the lead after Johnson missed the back end of a pair of free-throws. But<br />

with Fairfield leading 81-80 under one to play, Jaspers’ junior Andrew Gabriel could not capitalize<br />

on two shot attempts around the hoop. Fairfield hit seven of its final eight free-throws to maintain<br />

its advantage. <strong>Manhattan</strong> had a final opportunity to send the game into overtime with just three<br />

seconds left. Pickett launched a shot from mid court, hoping to replicate the half court bucket he<br />

hit that was waived off at the end of the first half. This time the attempt bounced off the front of<br />

the rim. <strong>Manhattan</strong> shot 46.9% (30-64) in the contest, but only 15.4% (2-13) from beyond the arc.<br />

The Stags were 56.5% (26-46) from the field and 63.6% (7-11) downtown. The Jaspers made 17<br />

steals, including four apiece from Bouli and Gabriel. <strong>Manhattan</strong> scored 36 points off turnovers.<br />

Fairfield won the battle of the boards 37-25.<br />
