HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) — Anthony Nelson had 21 points, including a floater along the ride side of the lane in the closing seconds and Manhattan's 72-70 win against Quinnipiac on Sunday.

As time wound down, Nelson drove left to the top of the key, hesitated and went right and just below the foul line lifted a floater over a taller defender to get the win.

Nelson also had eight rebounds, five assists, and three steals for the Jaspers (11-16, 9-9 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference). Josh Roberts added 13 points while shooting 6 of 9 from the field, and he also had seven rebounds and three blocks. Logan Padgett was 3 of 5 shooting, including 2 for 4 from distance, and went 3 for 4 from the line to finish with 11 points.

Matt Balanc led the Bobcats (19-10, 10-8) in scoring, finishing with 19 points. Tyrese Williams added 14 points for Quinnipiac. In addition, Dezi Jones had 13 points.
