When Jon Severe surprisingly signed with Fordham, it was clear the reigning New York State Mr. Basketball would have a major impact on the program. And it didn't taken long.
The freshman guard poured in a season-high 30 points — 22 of them in th first half — in the 106th Battle of the Bronx, earning the MVP award after leading the Rams to a 79-75 upset over Manhattan Tuesday night at Draddy Gymnasium.
Branden Frazier gave the Rams the final lead with an acrobatic layup with 59.3 seconds left, as they went up 75-73. Manhattan's Michael Alvardo then missed a deep 3-pointer and Fordham's Travion Leonard capped the night with a dunk with 2.9 seconds left.
After a scorching first half, Severe went scoreless over the first 14 minutes of the second half, missing his first seven shots, but the freshman then hit two 3-pointers, one tying the game at 70 with 4:34 to play.
Less than four minutes into the second half, Manhattan took its first lead since the game's opening minutes, 51-49, on a George Beamon 3-pointer. The senior led Manhattan with 24 points and 11 rebounds.
The teams traded leads multiple times in the second half, with Rhamel Brown's imposing interior defense forcing Fordham into 4-of-18 shooting to open the half.
As expected, the first half began with Manhattan owning the glass and Fordham firing from deep, only the Rams' streaky shooters were connecting. Severe hit his first 3-pointer and scored eight of the team's first 10 points.
Though the freshman picked up his second foul in less than five minutes, Fordham coach Tom Pecora felt he had to keep Severe in the game if the Rams were going to stay in it. The gamble paid off, as Severe and Mandell Thomas combined for the team's first 25 points, giving the Rams a surprising 11-point lead.
The Rams moved the ball well, assisting on six of their first nine field goals, as the team shot 53.6 percent from the field in the first half.
Severe shot just about as soon as he touched it nearly every possession, but most touches worked out well. He was 7-of-10 in the first half, while Beamon shot 1-of-9 in the first half.
Jaspers sharpshooter Shane Richards hit 3-of-5 3-pointers, but his teammates missed their nine attempts and trailed 43-39 at the break.
