Despite a collegiate best 30 points by sophomore Joseph Bull (Bronx, NY/Mount St. Michael Academy), the SUNY Oneonta men's basketball team fell at home to Brockport 86-75.  Bull followed up last night's collegiate best 26 points with an even better performance today.  Bull made 12-of-22 shots including 4-of-7 from behind the arc while also collecting a collegiate best 13 rebounds.

Oneonta (6-6, 1-5 SUNYAC) turned up the defensive pressure in the opening eight minutes of the second half cutting its deficit into single digits when junior Ian Schultz (Clifton Park, NY/CBA) made a jumper making the score 58-49.
 
Over the next three minutes the lead for Brockport (10-4, 6-1 SUNYAC) kept going between double and single digits.  Another layup by Schultz at the 9:35 mark got Oneonta as close at it would be for the remainder of the contest at seven points.  The Golden Eagles used a 12-2 run late to pull away.
