Hello from Riverdale!

It’s MAAC Friday! And I’m at Draddy for a matchup between 2-2 Canisius and 3-2 Manhattan.

Griffs looking for a first MAAC road win of the year, while Manhattan looks to go 3-0 in MAAC home games. It’s Game #54 of my season, and tip is at 7

Deshaun Jackson Jr. comes up short on an open layup and the Sharks hold on with a two-point win thanks to Davis’ game-winner.

18 points for Davis, 15 for Goings. LIU improves to 3-0 in the NEC after nearly blowing a 13 point lead.

Yalden still hasn’t checked back in. Using one of those massage guns on his left leg in the first seat on the bench.

Vermont turns it over with a shot clock violation and then Abdullahi makes two FT’s. Tigers 69-63 with 2 left in OT

FINAL: Sacred Heart 85, Dartmouth 63

After Dartmouth tied it with 13 minutes left, the Pioneers outscored the Big Green 38-16 to finish the win.

That may have been SHU's best 13 minutes of the season thus far. Now 5-7 with one more game until MAAC play.

Mekhi Conner makes it 67 for Sacred Heart and the kids go WILD!

Pios have opened up a 13 point lead after he made the FT. 19 points on the afternoon for the PG.

FINAL: Marist 80, Manhattan 68

The 10 minute-to-5 minute segment of the second half of this game felt like a closing segment and the Red Foxes did a tremendous job in that stretch.

Justin Menard 8p/11a. Elijah Lewis 22p. Tarik Watson was huge in 2H

Winston 19p, Ljubicic 12p/9r

FINAL: Saint Peter's 71, Niagara 43

Really strong weekend for Saint Peter's at home, sweeping the Buffalo schools convincingly. Peacocks took 10 more shots than Niagara thanks to +9 turnover battle.

Eaton/Robinson combined for 28 points and 8 assists. NU just 31% from the field
December 7, 2025 at 8:57 PM
FINAL: Iona 81, Sacred Heart 69

The Gaels scored 45 points in the second half, forced 20 turnovers from SHU, and went on more runs, to grab the road win.

Four players in double figures. Despite SHU's 13 threes and five players in double figures, Iona had too much
December 7, 2025 at 8:56 PM
FINAL: Siena 74, Canisius 52

Another dominant performance by Siena at home to improve to 2-0. Emphatically passing the first set of MAAC games with a 16p/12r double double from Antonio Chandler. 25 points off the bench for the three frosh as well.

Canisius drops to 0-2
