Flushing, NY- The Queens College Men's Basketball team dropped a 98-67 decision to the top seeded Purple Knights on the road in Bridgeport, CT this afternoon. The loss sees the Knights fall to 17-7 overall and 14-5 in the ECC, while the Purple Knights improve to 16-8 overall and 16-3 in Conference play.
A lack of Queens's defense and a red hot UB offense was the story in this one. Five Bridgeport players found themselves in double digits, while shooting an impressive 57 % from the field as well as 56% from beyond the arc as a team. Queens shot only 36% from the field and 30% from trey in the loss.
Despite the loss three Knights had double digit scoring games. The Knights were led by senior Lamonte Lans. Lans scored a team and game high 21 points while going 6-16 from the field and 3-5 from three. Knights' junior forward Khalil McDonald poured in 15 points of his own on 7-11 shooting in the loss. Rounding out the scoring for Queens was senior guard Anderson Labase. Labase added 11 points in the contest while going 4-11 from the floor.
