WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- All regular-season home games in 2018-19 will be carried on either ESPN3 or ESPN+. Road games only will be carried on 107.7 The Bronc.

- Rider and Manhattan are playing for the 50th time in the all-time series history with the Jaspers holding a 29-20 advantage. The Broncs have had the edge of late, winning each of the last six contests thanks to sweeping the regular-season series in each of the last two seasons.

- The Jaspers enter Sunday's matinee with a 7-17 overall record and 5-8 mark in conference play after falling at home to Quinnipiac on Friday. Manhattan has dropped back-to-back MAAC games and three of their last four. The Jaspers are currently tops in the MAAC with 4.3 blocks per game. Manhattan also ranks second in the conference in both scoring defense, surrendering 58 points per game, and steals per game at 9.3. Jasper freshman D'Yona Davis has been named the MAAC Rookie of the Week three times this year. It is balanced attack with three Jaspers averaging over seven points per game, led by Davis with 8.9 per game. Courtney Warley is averaging over eight points per game and she leads the MAAC in both rebounding (8.9 RPG) and blocks (1.9 BPG).

- Three different players scoring in double figures as Rider defeated Manhattan, 73-63, in Riverdale in mid-January. Rider came out of the gates, shooting 56 percent (9-of-16) in the first quarter to lead by 11 at 23-12 after 10 minutes of action. The Broncs led throughout the contest, stretching their lead to as many as 21 at 35-14 midway through the second quarter. Manhattan would trim the Bronc lead to just at 58-53 with just over five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Rider responded with a quick 4-0 run to stretch the lead back to nine.

- Rider 11-2 in MAAC play for the first time under Head Coach Lynn Milligan and the first time in program history. The previous-best 13-game start to a conference season for the Broncs was 10-3 which the team accomplished during their historic 2016-17 campaign.

- The Broncs have now won 10 or more conference games for the third year in a row and the fourth time under Head Coach Lynn Milligan. It is the second time in program history that the Broncs have stacked three 10-win conference seasons in a row. The other time was from 1992-96 when the Broncs played in the NEC. It also marks just the second time in program history that Rider has won 11 or more MAAC games in season.

- This week, Rider jumped into the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top-25 Poll. The Broncs are No. 25. It marks the second time in program history and the second time in the last three seasons that Rider has appeared in the poll. The Broncs are one of two MAAC teams in the poll as Quinnipiac is No. 14. Three different MAAC teams (Quinnipiac, Rider and Marist) have appeared in the poll this year.
