MAAC Stock Watch took a break last week, but will come back when conference play starts in 2015 full throttle.
MAAC Stock Watch: Dec. 23

Manhattan 71, Fordham 57

Strong First Half Carries Rutgers Past Manhattan
Rutgers shot nearly 60% from the field in the first half, building a cushion which would help the Scarlet Knights fend off the Manhattan Jaspers 63-55 Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. Continue reading “Strong First Half Carries Rutgers Past Manhattan”
Manhattan Stumbles Again At Fairfield
At the very least, Friday night probably spells the end for Steve Masiello’s red suit jacket.
The normally impeccably dressed Masiello will seemingly try anything these days to change his team’s luck, especially after losing on a 75-foot shot last week at George Mason, even donning a checkered red suit jacket that he previously wore at the Hall of Fame Tip-Off dinner two weeks ago.
But in the MAAC opener, it was previously offensively challenged Fairfield that exploded in the second half and left the Jaspers at 1-5 (and more importantly 0-1 in the MAAC) with a surprisingly comfortably 67-54 win at Webster Bank Arena.

Not for long, though.

Three Thoughts: Manhattan 78, Binghamton 63
Manhattan and Steve Masiello almost went at Saturday night’s semifinal of the Hall of Fame Tip-Off as an exhibition game, rotating players in and out almost from the opening tip, and to be fair to him, the Jaspers were never really in any trouble, although they showed some sluggish periods in the 78-63 win, their first of the season. Continue reading “Three Thoughts: Manhattan 78, Binghamton 63”
BLOBs and SLOBs and A Tough Manhattan Loss
In coach-speak, they’re called BLOBs and SLOBs for baseline out of bounds plays and sideline out of bounds plays, respectively, and most coaches agree that they don’t spend enough time practicing them, while players are nearly unanimous that they work on them too much because if they wanted to run through plays over and over, they just would have played football.
