GAME 25 • MANHATTAN 66, IONA 60<br />
FEB. 12, 2010 • HYNES ATHLETIC CENTER, NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y.<br />
Rico Pickett scored eight of the Jaspers final 12 points in the last three minutes to help<br />
secure a 66-60 victory over Iona in New Rochelle. Pickett finished with a game-high 24 points<br />
and senior guard Darryl Crawford added 14 as <strong>Manhattan</strong> snapped the Gaels’ seven game win<br />
streak at the Hynes Athletic Center. <strong>Manhattan</strong> was clicking on all cylinders in the first half as the<br />
Jaspers shot 60% (15-25) from the field, while their pesky defense limited Iona to just 21 points<br />
on 28% (7-25) shooting. Pickett led three Jaspers in double-figures by the break with 12 points.<br />
Freshman swingman Mohamed Koita scored a career-high 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting, while<br />
Crawford matched his first half performance. Pickett initiated the scoring surge which became<br />
contagious after he recorded nine straight points on four consecutive jumpers over a two minute<br />
span. The junior from Alabama capped the rush with his first 3-pointer of the ball game at 15:36 to<br />
give <strong>Manhattan</strong> a 12-5 advantage. Koita got going soon after with a one-handed tomahawk jam<br />
off a steal at midcourt, and then at 12:53 he gave <strong>Manhattan</strong> a double-digit lead (21-11) burying<br />
his second trey. Koita and Pickett combined for 17 of the first 21 points. Crawford carried the<br />
Jaspers’ scoring torch for the final 11 minutes of the first half posting seven points over the span.<br />
Senior guard Antoine Pearson closed out <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s highest scoring first half of the season with<br />
a 3-point play nine seconds before the break to send the Jaspers into the locker room with a 40-21<br />
advantage. The 19 point halftime deficit was Iona’s largest of the season. <strong>Manhattan</strong> got off to a<br />
sluggish start in the second stanza allowing Iona to roll out 11 unanswered points. Gaels’ forward<br />
Keon Williams posted the first three buckets, and then a 3-pointer by freshman Ben Mockford and<br />
a layup by sophomore point guard Scott Machado cut the deficit to 40-32 with 14:10 left. Pickett<br />
responded sparking a 7-0 run with a pair of jumpers to build the lead back to 13, which proved to<br />
be enough of a cushion. The MAAC’s scoring leader shot 8-for-17 and 6-for-9 from the free-throw<br />
line in his 16th time leading the Jaspers in scoring this season. The resilient Gaels’ poured in<br />
seven 3-pointers in the second half sparking a last full fledged charge down the stretch. With 22<br />
seconds remaining, freshman Kyle Smyth knocked down his third 3-pointer of the half and fourth<br />
of the game to cut it to 62-59. <strong>Manhattan</strong> settled the comeback bid with a pair of free-throws from<br />
Laurence Jolicoeur and two more from Nick Walsh to seal the victory. Brandon Adams led the<br />
Jaspers bench with six points, six rebounds and three assists. Pearson added five points and<br />
three steals. Crawford finished 5-for-7 from the field anchoring <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s hot shooting effort<br />
(50%, 21-42). The Jaspers were 58.3% (7-12) from downtown.<br />

GAME 26 • FAIRFIELD 74, MANHATTAN 56<br />
FEB. 15, 2010 • DRADDY GYMNASIUM, RIVERDALE, N.Y.<br />
The <strong>Manhattan</strong> men’s basketball team dropped a 74-56 decision to Fairfield at Draddy<br />
Gymnasium. Jaspers’ junior guard Rico Pickett led <strong>Manhattan</strong> in scoring for the 17th time this<br />
season posting a game-high 18 points. The Stags’ received 15 bench points from senior forward<br />
Mike Evanovich and a career-high 13 points from freshman Colin Nickerson. Pickett got rolling<br />
early picking up w<strong>here</strong> he left off in the teams’ first meeting on Jan. 10 at the Arena at Harbor Yard<br />
w<strong>here</strong> he exploded for 29 on points on a hot 13-for-20 shooting effort. The MAAC’s leading scorer<br />
(17.8 ppg) buried two 3-pointers in the first two minutes of action to get the Jaspers out of the gate<br />
with a 6-4 lead. Fairfield retaliated with a 23-2 run, including 16 unanswered points to take a 27-8<br />
advantage with 8:45 left in the first half. The Stags’ surge also featured a stifling defensive effort<br />
which prevented the Jaspers from scoring for over a six minute span. The scoring blitz stunned<br />
<strong>Manhattan</strong> and it was not able to recover. The Stags led by as many as 24 points in the period.<br />
Fairfield held a 43-25 advantage at intermission and led by double-figures the entire second half.<br />
Fairfield shot 50.9% from the field and 44.4% from 3-point territory to <strong>Manhattan</strong>’s 33.3% shooting<br />
mark and 26.7% 3-point conversion rate. <strong>Manhattan</strong> played an even second half with the Stags,<br />
but could not erase any of its halftime deficit. The Jaspers pulled within 53-40 on a jumper from<br />
Brandon Adams with 10:55 left and did not get any closer. Adams finished with eight points and six<br />
rebounds. Crawford contributed eight points, nine boards and three steals in 38 minutes. Evanovich<br />
and Nickerson combined for 28 of the Stag’s 39 points off the bench, while starters Anthony<br />
Johnson (14 points, 11 rebounds) and MAAC Rookie of the Week Derek Needham (12 points,<br />
five assists) also contributed double-figure scoring efforts. Freshman guard George Beamon and<br />
junior Nick Walsh were bright spots for the Jaspers in reserve roles. Beamon scored nine points<br />
adding a career-high seven rebounds. Walsh posted six points in 11 minutes of action. <strong>Manhattan</strong><br />
outrebounded the Stags 35-33.<br />
