Welcome back to the Trentonian's Full-Court Press blog. Yes, we're still alive, and with the 2015-16 season rapidly approaching, it's time to fire up the old blog for another season. Check back here throughout the year for updates on all things Rider and Princeton, including coverage of both the MAAC and Ivy League.

Jaspers win 73-59

Pretty impressive win for Manhattan, which will face No. 1 Siena tomorrow in the quarterfinals.

Devon Austin was the star, finishing with 26 points on 10-0f-15 shooting in 36 minutes.

Antoine Pearson chipped in with 15 for the Jaspers, who won the rebounding battle 42-31 despite having no players with 10 rebounds. (Andrew Gabriel had nine to lead the team; Darryl Crawford and Austin each had seven.)

Todd Sowell had 20 points but only four rebounds in his last game for Saint Peter's, which ended the season 6-24.

The Peacocks have some good young players, but it's going to be an uphill climb to say the least for John Dunne.

Next up: No. 7 Iona vs. No. 10 Canisius.

The winner gets a date with Rider in the quarterfinals.
