With the loss the Fighting Tigers are now 7-7 overall including a 3-2 mark in conference contests while the Wildcats improve to 11-6 overall including a 6-1 conference record.

On the afternoon the Cobleskill offense was as cold as the central New York weather connecting on only 19-of-66 shots from the field, 28.8%, including only 5-of-23 from three-point range, 21.7%.
