MONMOUTH-MANHATTAN SERIES NOTES
-Manhattan leads the all-time series 9-7.

-MU won the earlier meeting between the teams this season, 65-49 in West Long Branch.
-The Hawks have won five of the last six over the Jaspers.

MONMOUTH TO COMPETE IN MAAC/ASUN CHALLENGE
Monmouth has been selected to compete in the first ever MAAC/ASUN Challenge, where two MAAC teams and two Atlantic Sun teams on both the men's and women's sides will compete in a pair of doubleheaders in November at Disney's Wide World of Sports. MU will play Kennesaw State and Stetson in the two games, while Iona will be the other MAAC representative.

MCCLARY TO DOUBLES
Marcus McClary scored in double figures for the second time in his career against Quinnipiac, with both coming this season. He tied a career-best with five made field goals, and grabbed a career-high tying five rebounds in the game, four of the offensive boards.

SEEDING IMPLICATIONS
Monmouth wraps up the regular season tonight, with four more MAAC games scheduled for Sunday afternoon in the final day of the league's regular season. A win guarantees that MU cannot finish lower than sixth, while MU with a loss can finish as low as seventh. A victory gives the Hawks a chance for a first-round bye depending on the rest of the results of the weekend, with the Blue and White having an opportunity to finish as high as fourth.
