With the college hoops season set to begin on Tuesday, Manhattan College is looking for a return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in seven years.

The Jaspers were picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll.

Last season, the Jaspers lost seven games by five points or less, so they may have been better than their 10th place finish would indicate.

Add in two transfers from Big East schools, and now you have the makings of a pretty interesting roster.
