732 - Manhattan at Quinnipiac
March 3 at People's United Center in Hamden, CT
ESPN +
Color commentator Bill Mecca, seen here doing this
had a pair of gems in Manhattan's 62-58 victory to close MAAC regular season play:
Late first half
"What it comes down to for Quinnipiac, you just gotta play basketball."
Late second half, just before a Quinnipiac defensive possession
"Gotta make a defensive play here if you're Quinnipiac."
Thanks, Bill!

Game 309 - Manhattan women at Monmouth
February 16 at OceanFirst Bank Center in West Long Branch, NJ

Manhattan's 75-61 victory, just its fourth in 17 MAAC games, had a lot to do with Kayla Grimme (25 points on 11-of-15 shooting) and Amani Tatum (eight assists and five steals to go along with 11 points).
Grimme made all six of her shots during a pivotal third quarter, and towards the end of that period Monmouth subbed in 6-5 Erica Balman to guard the junior center. By then it was too late, and though Grimme didn't score the rest of the game, the Jaspers' lead also didn't fall below nine points the rest of the way.
Monmouth led by as much as seven points in the early stages of the second, but the top three-point shooting team in the conference made just 5-of-23 from behind the arc and shot 33% overall in the second half. That's when Manhattan got some distance, turning a deficit into a one-point lead on a Grimme 3-pointer with 4 1/2 minutes to play in the second & the visitors never trailed again.
The teams combined for a ridiculous 53 turnovers - 27 for Manhattan, 26 for Monmouth.

Game 77 - Saint Peter's women at Manhattan
January 21 at Draddy Gymnasium in Riverdale, NY

Heard a few things I have some questions about during the broadcast of this 64-47 Manhattan win.
1. "assist-maker"
No one is making assists. It's not an apple pie.
A few other options: assist accumulator, assist collector, or my current favorite: assist enthusiast.
2. "the old adage in sports - offense sells tickets, defense wins championships"
I've heard the defense part so often I openly root for defense to lose championships. The offense part I guess I've heard a few times, but the two together? It sounds more like two separate adages brought together to form a brand-new adage.
3. "you can't teach 6-4" (said twice)
But what if you could?
What if you could teach someone to stand six feet, four inches?
Then we'd inevitably have people teaching 6-5, and 6-6.
I'd want to get into coaching and start teaching 4-7.
4. "Draddy Gymnasium"
After a bit of research I learned it's named after Manhattan alumnus Vincent dePaul Draddy, but it's still a horrible name for anything.
And they really missed out on calling it Vinnie Gym.
