Bobby Gonzalez played just seven guys in this one, and five of them played 30+ minutes. Exhausted? No way! One of those Jaspers who played a full 40 (pictured, left) was a high-hopping 6'0" guard who shot 64% from the floor including four big threes, and Wingate helped lead Manhattan to a big win across the Hudson at Jersey City's Yanitelli Center, one that clinched an escape from first round Friday at the tourney in Albany (the Jaspers can now finish no lower than fourth).
And for those of you keeping track of the MAAC race, blood rivals Manhattan and Iona - both 11-3 - are engaging in a little long-distance call-and-response leading up to their regular season finale: Manhattan dropped 86 on Loyola on Sunday, Iona dropped 101 in regulation on Loyola last night.
