Manhattan bowed out of the NCAA tournament by losing to Louisville. Currently on leave to complete his undergraduate degree, Masiello also was named Met Coach of the Year in 2012 and now has a 60-39 record in three seasons at the helm.
A 6-3 freshman guard from Brooklyn, NY, Severe was second on the Rams and fourth in the Atlantic 10 with 17.3 ppg, led his team and was fifth in the conference with 79 3-pointers (fifth most in school history), added 63 assists and set a Fordham freshman scoring record with 536 points.
