Granville Gittens led the team with a double-double of 23 points (7-11 fg), 10 rebounds, two steals and one blocked shot. Chimaechi Ekekeugbor had another solid game off the bench with 18 points, 11 rebounds and two steals.

Ryan Markoe had four steals and Edward Roscigno dished out six assists to keep the Bearcats undefeated in early season conference play.

Jaron Williams led the visitors with a double-double of 15 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and two assists.

The men's basketball team will resume action on Monday, December 29, at the Randolph Macon Holiday Tournament in Ashland, Virginia. The Bearcats open play against Salisbury University at 5:00 pm.
