Jan 25 – Annual Hoops Night a Success

(New York, NY) – Five from Section 22 (Brendan, James O, John, James K, and Tom) along with a number of guests (Jen and Evan, Mike and Courtney, Pat and Katie, and Ellen) made the annual trek to see Manhattan College basketball. This year it was a doubleheader at Madison Square Garden where St. John’s (11-8 ) defeated Rutgers (9-11) in the opener by a score of 71-59. Iona (10-10) prevailed in the MAAC nightcap with a 71-51 win over the Jaspers (10-9) who struggled with field goal accuracy.
Most of the crew met in Riverdale near Manhattan College and ventured to the Garden via the #1 train. The adventure continued with some refreshments in Penn Station before the games. The return ride had its share of adventures when the best defensive play of the night came from Tom’s right arm as he caught the closing train door from shutting out and leaving Mike on the platform at 42nd street. The spirited discussion with NYC inhabitants on the train regarding the state of the economy and politics was memorable as well.
