Men's Basketball Falls To American International, 83-77

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University men's basketball team lost to American International College, 83-77, in a Northeast 10 Conference matchup at the James Moore Field House in New Haven, Conn. With the loss, Southern drops to 15-10 overall and 10-7 in the NE10 while AIC improves to 10-15 overall and 6-11 in conference play.

Isaiah McLeod (Cambridge, Mass.) poured in a career- and season-high 34 points while also collecting seven rebounds. Kealen Ives (Providence, R.I.) had 14 points in the game while Luke Beesley (Champagne, Ill.) finished with 13 points and a team-high seven rebounds.

How It Happened
  • American International controlled the pace of the game from the start, using a 12-0 run that carried them through much of regulation. The Yellow Jackets never trailed, and pushed their lead to as much as 21 points during the game.
  • The Yellow Jackets rode the hot hand for most of the game, shooting 53.7% from the floor, including an 11-for-22 showing from three-point range.
  • After AIC grabbed a 17-point lead through the first half, Southern responded by outscoring the Yellow Jackets, 47-36, in the second half. While the Owls struggled from long range down the stretch, they potted 24 points from the paint.

Notes
  • McLeod's 34-point night tops his previous high of 33 that he scored against Bentley at home on Jan. 26. The Owls' senior converted on 7-of-8 from the floor down the stretch on his way to a 13-for-23 night.
  • McLeod now has 1,656 career points, which ranks 10th all-time at Southern Connecticut.
  • Beesley bounced back after missing the Owls' matchup against St. Rose on Saturday, Feb. 9 with his first double-digit point total in his last six games.

Up Next
The Owls will travel to Syracuse, N.Y. to take on Northeast 10 Southwest Division first place Le Moyne on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 3:30 p.m. After a midweek tilt at Adelphi on Wednesday, Feb. 20, the Owls will close-out their regular season at home on Saturday, Feb. 23 against Pace with Senior Day festivities set for prior to start of the game.
