Candon Rusin's three-pointer to close the first half looked to give Marist some much needed momentum Friday night. It didn't turn out that way, though.
Marist cut Manhattan's lead to 29-22 at the half, but the Jaspers exploded offensively in the second half to win, 72-47.
Marist's only win of the season came against Manhattan, and chances are, that will be the lone win. Manhattan opened the second half with a 12-0 run and the game never got back in hand. Manhattan led by as many as 27 points and won by 25.
Darryl Crawford led Manhattan with 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting. Rico Pickett and George Beamon added 13 points apiece and the rest of the Manhattan team spread the scoring wealth in the lopsided win.
Marist placed three players in double-digit scoring. Candon Rusin scored a team-high 12 points. Daye Kaba and Korey Bauer scored 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The only other Red Fox to score significant points was Devin Price (8 points). He shot 2-of-12, however. Walk-on Pat McDerby finished with two points, only one fewer than the next highest scorer after Price (Hall with three).
Rob Johnson and Dejuan Goodwin went scoreless on the night.
Marist shot 31.3 percent from the field while Manhattan shot 48.3 percent. Manhattan also hammered Marist on the boards, outrebounding the Red Foxes, 38-23. The Jaspers also grabbed 11 offensive rebounds.
Marist will return to action on Super Bowl Sunday for a 2 p.m. tilt against Iona.
