Flushing (N.Y.)  January 16, 2013 – The Knights men's basketball could not get past the University of Bridgeport Purple Knights, losing the game 77-66 to fall to 2-4 in the East Coast Conference.

                The Knights and Purple Knights fumbled the ball around turning the ball over a combined 11 times before reaching the midway point of the first half.  As the ball kept changing hands, the lead stayed with the same team throughout the half, as Bridgeport took a 40-25 lead into the locker room, thanks to guard Darian David's 14 points. The Knights got first-half production from Patrick Parker, who netted three field goals and one three-pointer to total a first half of eight points.  

    In the second half, the Knights were unable to hold up Bridgeport's offense until midway through the half, when they narrowed the deficit to 10. As the defense tried to fend off David and Bridgeport, Daniel Watson and George Holmes tried to take an elementary approach to the game putting up a combined 21 points and eventually lowered the deficit to nine, before UB won by 11.  

                The Knights will end their three game homestand against Roberts Wesleyan at the Maurice FitzGerald Gymnasium on Saturday, January 19^th at 4 PM.
