NEW YORK (AP) -- Rhamel Brown scored 18 points and Manhattan led
wire-to-wire in a 65-53 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference win
over Marist on Sunday, snapping a two-game skid.



The Jaspers (5-11, 3-3) led 27-9 midway through the first half
and shot 68.2 percent (15 of 22) en route to a 40-26 lead at
intermission.



The Red Foxes climbed back to within seven points twice late in
the game, the last time at 57-50 with 3:46 left, but Manhattan
hit 6 of 10 free throws and Brown dunked with 14 seconds
remaining for the final margin.



Brown, who was 7 of 10 from the field, but just 4 of 13 from the
line, also had seven rebounds and seven blocks. Shane Richards
added 11 points.



Devin Price scored 21 points and Chavaughn Lewis had his first
career double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds to lead
Marist (4-13, 1-5), which has lost seven straight.
