Cobleskill, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill men's basketball team closed out the home portion of their season schedule on Wednesday evening losing to the visiting Mustangs of Morrisville State College at the Iorio Gymnasium in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) match-up by a score of 64-54. The loss drops the Fighting Tigers overall record to 3-18 on the year including a 3-10 mark in NEAC play while Morrisville moves to 15-7 overall with an 11-3 conference record.

Once again a poor first half led to the Fighting Tigers trying to make a long comeback attempt as the home team trailed at the break by a 34-24 margin and never really mounted a serious challenge the rest of the evening to the Mustangs.
