Potsdam's Hot Start Sends Knights to Loss on Sunday

Potsdam, NY – A slow start put the Clarkson University Men's Basketball team in a big hole to start off against crosstown rival SUNY Potsdam, and the Golden Knights could never recover, dropping a 90-63 decision to the Bears on Sunday afternoon at Maxcy Hall.

The Golden Knights saw their mark fall to 0-4 on the season while Potsdam moved to 1-2. Clarkson begins Liberty League play next weekend on the road when the team takes on Skidmore College and Union College.

Potsdam raced out to a big lead in the opening minutes of Sunday's game as Clarkson went scoreless in the first four minutes and the Bears hit shots from both outside and inside for an early 14-0 advantage. Joe Lucas broke the lid on the basket at the 15:59 mark with a 3-pointer, but that would be the only make for the Knights in the first eight-plus minutes of the contest. Lucas hit another 3-pointer at 11:14, but Clarkson found itself down by 21 after that make. Clarkson's first basket from a starter came on a layup from Ryan Miles-Ferguson at the 9:48 mark and the Knights were finally able to get things on track from that point, but the deficit was already a significant amount to overcome.

The second half was a repeat of the first, as again the Knights had trouble out of the break. Potsdam scored the first 13 points of the half to run its lead out to 39 before Miles-Ferguson converted at 15:36. Clarkson began edging its way back, cutting the margin to 26 after a free throw from Blake Gearhart with a little over seven minutes remaining. Two times the Knights pulled to within 25 in the next minutes, but a quick 8-0 run put the margin back to the low-30s and Clarkson would not threaten again.

Clarkson had trouble on shots from distance again, shooting 3-for-21 in the first half from beyond the arc and only 7-for-44 overall, with two of the makes coming from Frankie Rainville in the final four minutes. Miles-Ferguson finished with 13 points to lead the Knights, while Blake Gearhart was within a rebound of a double-double on 11 points and nine rebounds. Chris Hulbert added 10 points and Nick Budesheim scored nine on 4-for-5 shooting.

Four of Potsdam's five starters were in double figures in the first half and remained as the only Bears to reach that mark. Brandon Segar, Jr. led the way with 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting, adding in 11 boards. Colton Huestis scored 18 points, with 12 coming in the first half, and Parker Kelly and McSean Johnson chipped in 14 and 12 points, respectively.
