Broncos suffer pair of defeats to Kingsborough, Suffolk despite valiant efforts

Bronx's men's basketball team suffered a pair of losses, dropping a CUNYAC clash to Kingsborough in Brooklyn by a score of 77-58 this past Thursday evening, before falling to the Sharks of Suffolk County Community College by a score of 82-69 today at the Alumni Gym. With the defeats, the Broncos are now 1-18 on the 2022-2023 campaign (0-7 CUNYAC). Kingsborough improved to 5-7 (4-3 CUNYAC) on the year, and the Sharks moved to 5-6.

In the Broncos' 19-point loss to the Wave, Bronx was paced by Ludwin Rosa, as he connected on seven of his nine attempts from the line to finish with 19 points. He also added a pair of rebounds, two dimes, and two steals. Herbert Gary posted a double-double with 14 points, 13 boards, and a pair of steals, and Taijay Good contributed 12 points, six boards, a pair of assists, and a swatted shot.

Good paced Bronx in its loss to the Sharks on Saturday afternoon, connecting on 10 of his 14 attempts from the floor, and six of his nine shots from the free throw line, to finish with a game-high 27 points. He also snatched three rebounds while adding a pair of dimes. Gary posted a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Rosa finalized his afternoon with 11 points, a team-high six assists, five rebounds, and three steals. Finally, it was Dominique Norman narrowly missing a double-double, as he netted 10 points, snatched nine boards, and tied for the game-high of four steals.

Suffolk was led by Joshua Fenner's team-high 24 points. He nailed eight of his 13 attempts from the floor, including four for eight from downtown. The youngster also tied for the game-high of four steals, while grabbing three rebounds and adding three assists. Amari Isaacs scored 18 points, snatched two boards, and dished two assists, and Joshua Blair added 15 points, five and rebounds. Finally, it was Yvan Fils-Aime scoring 13 points.

The Sharks raced out to a 10-4 advantage in the opening 2:55 of action, but an 8-0 Broncos run over a span of 2:39 put Bronx ahead 12-10. That run featured two buckets by Good, a basket by Rosa, and a hoop by Gary. Later, with the game tied 20 apiece, and 10:04 remaining in the first half, Bronx went on another 6-0 spurt to snatch a 26-20 edge. Good, Rosa, and Gary all had baskets during that aforementioned spurt.

A 13-6 Suffolk run put Suffolk ahead 33-32 with 1:54 left on the first half clock. The Broncos snatched the lead again on a converted three-pointer by Norman to push Bronx ahead 35-33, but the Sharks would regain the advantage when Angel Duran knocked down a wide-open trifecta at the buzzer to put the Sharks up 36-35 at the half.

The Sharks never trailed in the second half, going up by as many as 13 points (69-56 with 7:59 remaining). The Broncos did pull to within nine points on a Rosa freebee with 3:31 left, but Suffolk outscored Bronx 9-5 down the stretch to account for the 13-point victory (82-69).

Both teams were very efficient shooting the basketball, as Suffolk connected on 55.4 percent of its shots (31-56), and Bronx earned a 48.3 percent conversion rate (29-60). The Sharks nailed 12 trifectas (12-30, 40 percent), while Bronx had just three (3-13, 23.1 percent). The Broncos out-rebounded the Sharks by a count of 34-28, but Suffolk held a 23-12 edge in the assists column. Suffolk also narrowly won the turnover battle, committing 17 miscues, while the hosts had 19. 

The Broncos will return to action on Thursday evening, as they'll welcome the Lions of Nassau Community College to the Alumni Gym. Start-time for that contest is scheduled for 8:00pm.
