What to Know

Manhattan will be in front of their home fans on Friday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. The Manhattan Jaspers and the Mt St Mary's Mountaineers will face off in a MAAC battle at 7:00 p.m. ET at Draddy Gymnasium.

Meanwhile, Mt St Mary's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their third straight loss. They took a 87-83 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bison. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.
