RIVERDALE, N.Y. - Manhattan College will take on the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass. as part of ESPN's 24-hour College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon on Tuesday, November 18 at 11 a.m. on ESPN2.
The game adds to a jam-packed non-conference schedule for the defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference champion, which has games at Florida State, at Pittsburgh, against Rutgers at Madison Square Garden and at Fordham at the Barclays Center already lining its 2014-15 schedule.
Manhattan returns seven players who averaged more than 11 minutes per game to help lift the Jaspers to the 2014 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship. Manhattan won 25 games and finished MAAC play with a 15-5 record. The Jaspers were a #13 seed in the NCAA Tournament and faced #4 Louisville, the defending national champions, in the round of 64. The Jaspers led by three at the final media timeout of the game, but the Cardinals pulled away for a 71-64 victory.
