Box Score

NEW YORK (AP) - Jason Wingate hit a spinning drive with 12 seconds left and Mike Konovelchick followed with a steal and two free throws with 3 seconds remaining to give Manhattan its 10th straight victory, 77-74 over Siena on Sunday.

The Jaspers (10-4, 6-0 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference) led by 11 points with 6:15 remaining, but Siena (7-7, 2-4) went on a 13-1 run and took a 74-73 lead on Tay Fisher's 3-pointer with 43 seconds left.

Wingate's layup put Manhattan back in front. After a timeout, Konovelchick stole the ball from Siena's Kojo Mensah, was fouled by Fisher and made the two free throws.

Mensah got off a 3-point attempt with 1 second left, but it was way off the mark.

Siena scored the first nine points of the game and led by as many as 10 in the first half before settling for a 37-35 halftime lead.

Konovelchick led Manhattan with 19 points, while C.J. Anderson had 17, Jeff Xavier 16 and Arturo Dubois added 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Mensah led Siena with 19 points, while Fisher finished with 16 and Antoine Jordan 13.
