KEY MANHATTAN MATCH-UPS
Draw On Big Game Experience - Manhattan has played in a number of big games since Masiello arrived and will be playing in arguably its most hostile environment of the year.
Shane/RaShawn - It is no secret that the Jaspers go as Richards and Stores go. Arguably the two-important players to any one team in the league the duo will need its teammates to help get them going.
Contain Robinson - Manhattan will need to contain the probable MAAC Player of the Year Justin Robinson (20.3 ppg, 3.8 apg, 3.5 rpg, 2.2 spg). In the first meeting, Robinson had probably the best 11-point performance you will see this season while adding seven assists, six rebounds and three steals.
