Nobody did. That's why he wears number 0.

Good shooter, especially when no one bothers to guard him.

He did appear to have no one anywhere near him ?

You have to give props to Masiello. He had him set in the corner, both sides, and he hit two late threes, that really hurt us. Now, I was at the other end of the court (behind the Iona bench), and far away from both plays. But my recollection was that on both plays, Manhattan was going inside to either Brown or Pankey or both, which caused us to double down to help DL, MP or IW, who were all in foul trouble. Unfortunately, this left Richards uncovered, when the ball was kicked to the corner. And he made us pay. And that is why I think he was so wide open.

Richards played his role well getting open hitting the 3's. Basketball 101 is spread the floor and find the open man. Page right of our book most of the year. Will be interesting to see if he can diversify his skill set as Sean did. Love watching shooters who head fake and put the ball on the floor as it eventually slows down the close outs.

Can't create his own shot but when you don't guard him he's going to kill you. We didn't guard him

jersey, we did guard him. In person you could see that we knew where he was at all times. We dropped off a couple of times and Manhattan/Richards made us pay.

He had three wide open threes with nobody near him. I hear you we were guarding him for most of the game but he's there best 3 point shooter and we lost him 3 separate times in the 2nd half. Frustrating

Frustrating Twice with IW dropping off to help Laury with Brown & Pankey, both of whom made great passes to Richards. They made the play they had to as did we. Laury was in foul trouble.

The stomach sickness begins, a week or god forbid 2 weeks of this will be tough to take!

Manhattan staking a claim. Only NYC team in the dance. Hate to beat a dead horse but there are a lot of contenders and don't forget Quinny. Leahy is as ambitious as Lucifer. We'll get passed by unless we build up our facilities and recruit at a higher level. Kudos to Manhattan for getting it done. They deserve the attention.

If Manhattan loses in the first round and we make a nice run the NIT, we'll forget about this quickly.

Manhattan has its moment. We should be proud, as New York is part of Greater New Rochelle!
