The Canisius Golden Griffins and the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers will meet in Atlantic City to face off in the first round of the MAAC Championship at Boardwalk Hall on ESPN+. MSM won both meetings this season by five points combined.
Canisius closed at 10-19 after beating Niagara in Buffalo. The Golden Griffins jumped out to a huge halftime lead and held on to beat the Purple Eagles by thirteen. Canisius is scoring 70.5 points per game, while allowing 73.9 ppg and shooting 39.5% from the field.
Canisius won five of their last six games, and that one loss was to MSM by a single point, so they’ll be out to avenge that here. Fifth-year starter Jordan Henderson scored a season-high 28 points in that one-point loss to The Mount, and he’s leading Canisius in scoring (13.8). Sophomore guard Tahj Staveskie scored 24 points in the home finale win over Niagara, and he’s second on the team at 12.3 ppg.
