Kyheem Green (Huntington Station, NY/Walt Whitman) scored 19 points and snared a career-high 20 rebounds as The College at Brockport's men's basketball team defeated Geneseo 82-67 Friday night inside the Jim and John Vlogianitis Gymnasium.
Green posted his eighth double-double of the year, and upped his scoring average to 16.8 points per game for the Golden Eagles (8-9 overall, 6-4 SUNYAC), who used a 13-2 first half run to pull away from Geneseo (8-9, 2-8 SUNYAC).
Green made 7 of his 12 shots, and was a perfect 4-for-4 at the free throw line for the Golden Eagles, who swept the season-series with Geneseo. Brockport is currently in third place in the SUNYAC.
“We've been going after each other a lot in practice.” Green said after the win, “We haven't been a second half team, we always let teams get back against us, and we had to work a lot on that in practice.”
