In a thrilling MAAC tournament game, Canisius defeated Manhattan in overtime with a buzzer-beating shot by Tre Dinkins, winning 73-70. The game saw back-and-forth action with both teams showcasing strong performances.
#GAELSWIN! Iona survives and spares everyone from overtime, with an inadvertent assist from Shaq Bender in the final seconds, in a 60-57 victory over Manhattan. The Gaels will take on Fairfield at 9:30 tomorrow night. #MAACHoops #GaelNation
MANHATTAN STOLE THE INBOUNDS! Wes Robinson intercepted Joel Brown, and now the Jaspers will go to the line for the tie on the other side of Tobin’s timeout. Iona 59, Manhattan 57, 1.9 seconds left in regulation. They can’t play another five minutes here, right? #MAACHoops
Tretout has 24 now, and Iona is up six at the U8. Manhattan has dictated tempo, but it’s the Gaels who have thrived in it, turning the clash in styles into a 52-46 lead at the 6:23 mark. Seydou Traore now has four fouls for the Jaspers. #MAACHoops
Iona’s lead has been trimmed to two at the U12, as Manhattan has started to show signs of life the last few trips down the floor. With 11:40 on the clock, it’s the Gaels 44, and the Jaspers 42. #MAACHoops
After 20: Manhattan 32, Iona 30. It’s not Masiello and Cluess, but this game still brings it. Iona looks disjointed playing at Manhattan’s pace, but has adjusted as the game has gone on. #MAACHoops
Manhattan is holding at six with 7:39 to play in the first half, up 22-16 on Iona. Tretout is heating up for the Gaels, with eight points. A Panzo bucket out of the timeout has pulled the deficit to four. #MAACHoops #GaelNation
Manhattan’s on an 8-0 run since the last update, and now has a seven-point lead on Iona with 11:29 remaining in the opening stanza, 18-11. Winston and Traore have seven points apiece to steer the Jaspers here. #MAACHoops
Almost had overlapping media timeouts, but that came up 82 seconds short. Iona has an 11-10 lead through the first 6:38. Quigley has driven the car in the opening minutes for the Gaels, with five points. Winston has just as many on the Manhattan side. #MAACHoops
Anyway, Canisius just wrapped up a 77-61 win over Mount St. Mary’s, so it’ll be the #Griffs against Quinnipiac in the quarters tomorrow. Looking at a tip somewhere around 8:40-8:45 for Iona and Manhattan. #MAACHoops
Canisius is up double digits now, 30-19, with 6:24 left in the first half. Fueled by 14-of-22 shooting and 10 points from Dinkins, the #Griffs got the jump with their 5-0 start in the opening minute and haven’t looked back from there. #MAACHoops
Canisius is up by nine with 11:45 remaining in the opening stanza, 20-11. The #Griffs have made nine of 15 to start. #MAACHoops
Canisius has come out of the blocks with a 14-5 start through the first 4:24, with Dinkins outscoring Mount St. Mary’s at the moment. Leffew has all the offense for The Mount, and Dan Engelstad will talk in the midst of the slow start. #MAACHoops
Off and running at 6:18 for the first of three, and Tre Dinkins starts the proceedings for Canisius exactly how he ended them Saturday, on a three. Williams came right back with a transition basket to stake the #Griffs out to a quick 5-0 advantage. #MAACHoops https://t.co/KZAumVyOjD
