1. First of Three
• Canisius starts a three-game homestand on Thursday when Manhattan visits the Koessler Athletic Center. This will be the Griffs second three-game homestand this season and first during MAAC play.

2. Sanderlin Scores 30
• Junior forward Danielle Sanderlin became the first Golden Griffin to score 30 or more points in a contest since Jénel Stevens dropped 31 points against Rider on Feb. 27, 2003. Sanderlin, who finished the game against Saint Peter's with 30 points, went 12-for-22 from the field and 5-for-7 from the line.

3. Home Court Advantage
• Canisius leads the all-time series with the Jaspers, 35-28, including having a 22-7 record against Manhattan in Buffalo, N.Y. The Blue and Gold have won two of the last three home games versus the Jaspers, including last season's matchup in the Koessler Athletic Center, 47-44.

4. Home Cookin'
• The Griffs are averaging 64.4 points per game at home compared to just 60.1 on the road. At home, Canisius has three players recording double figures in the scoring column, led by senior D'Jhai Patterson-Ricks' 17.1 points per game in the KAC. Sanderlin and redshirt-senior AJ Timbers average 12.7 and 11.3 points per home game, respectively.

5. The Final Stretch
• Canisius has just six games remaining before it heads to Atlantic City, N.J., for the annual MAAC Basketball Championship March 10-14. The Griffs will play four of their final six games at home, including this season's second installment of the "Battle of the Bridge" Monday, Feb. 24 against Niagara.
