Saturday notebook
I'm back from Albany, the only city in the MAAC with Big-East-level hoopla surrounding every game and a bar underneath the arena.
There are no MAAC games today, but here are a few notes:
* Can anyone think of another MAAC game in which 10 players scored in double figures? That's what happened last night, when Siena (Edwin Ubiles with 19, Kenny Hasbrouck with 18, Alex Franklin with 15, Ronald Moore with 13 and Kyle Downey with 11) and Rider (Harris Mansell with 19, Ryan Thompson and Mike Ringgold with 16 apiece, Novar Gadson with 14 and Justin Robinson with 11) each had five.
* Among the most eye-opening stats I've seen this year was the 17-rebound performance put up last night by Fairfield's Yorel Hawkins in the Stags' 63-60 win at Loyola. Hawkins, who started at small forward in place of the injured Warren Edney, had been averaging 3.2 boards per game coming in, but his effort helped the Stags get a win they desperately needed after dropping two straight in the MAAC.
* Speaking of desperately-needed wins, Manhattan got one last night at home against Marist. It may not have happened had Antoine Pearson not given the Jaspers 20 points in 38 minutes, but if you're a Manhattan fan, you've got to be content being 3-2 in the MAAC heading into tomorrow's game against Siena.
* My pick for the most intriguing game on tomorrow's schedule is Marist at Niagara. The Purple Eagles had a little bit of trouble winning at Saint Peter's last night, the McCann Center is a tough place to play, and the Red Foxes are dangerous despite being 6-11 overall and 2-3 in the MAAC.
