Manhattan has won back-to-back games and the team is 7-4 at home in 2017-18. The Jaspers have also won five of their last six games at Draddy Gymnasium with the lone setback coming by two points in overtime to Siena. As a team, Manhattan ranks third in the MAAC in scoring defense with opponents scoring just over 60 points per game. It is a two-headed attack for the Jaspers with seniors Kayla Grimme and Amani Tatum both averaging in double figures.
