Manhattan (8-14, 3-8 Metro) coach Steve Masiello earned his 100th career win.
Waterman, who finished with nine points, made a pair of free throws to cap the scoring with 15.4 seconds to play. Matt Scott was driving through the lane with a chance to put the Purple Eagles (7-15, 4-7) ahead in the final seconds, but Waterman beat him to the spot.
Niagara got the ball back with 3 seconds left but Crawford stole it from Marvin Prochet to secure the win.
Zavier Turner and Na'Quan Council added 13 points each for the Jaspers. It was a career high for Council.
Scott had 20 points, and Prochet and Kevin Larkin added 12 points each for Niagara, which erased a 12-point, second-half deficit.
