Under The Radar Game of the Day: Manhattan at Quinnipiac

Manhattan (9-20, 7-10 MAAC) at Quinnipiac (16-12, 11-6 MAAC) – 2:00 PM (ESPN+)

Today’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Hamden, Connecticut where the Quinnipiac Bobcats will play host to the Manhattan Jaspers in the regular season finale for both teams. Quinnipiac will be looking to claim a share of the regular season title with a victory today; the best they can do is a #2 seed in the MAAC Tournament since Iona would win a tiebreaker between both teams. Quinnipiac also won their first meeting 63-59 on the road at Manhattan earlier this season. Cameron Young leads the Bobcats with 23.2 points per game.

Manhattan has been a bit of a spoiler in conference play so far – while they did lose their only game against current conference leader Iona, they did win at Canisius and at home against Rider earlier this season – this denied the Golden Griffins and Broncs a shot at a share of the conference title this season. With one of the slowest offensive tempos in the country (350th out of 353 teams), no Jasper averages in double figures in scoring this season. Their leading scorer (Pauly Paulicap) averages 8.5 PPG and 3.9 RPG this season.

Note: Also be on the lookout for the debut of our Championship Week/Championship Fortnight video notebooks starting tonight; we will be posting those for the remainder of the season instead of the typical UTR Game of the Day articles.
