READING, PA. - The SUNY Poly men's basketball team stayed hot on Saturday with a big North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) win at Penn State Berks 91-65. The SUNY Poly win gives them six in the NEAC and has them at 6-6 in conference play. In the first half the Wildcats built a big lead and never looked back. They lead by as many as 24 points.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
The Wildcats had a big performance by senior guard Redell Freeman (Rochester, N.Y.). Freeman was the top scorer with 27 points and went three of four from three-point range. Josh Gregory (Whitesboro, N.Y.) contributed with 19 points and a game high three blocks. The Wildcats played a complete game outscoring Penn St.-Berks in both halves to earn the win on the road.

- The Penn State Berks team was led by a pair of double-digit scorers Brandon Wise (Laurel, MD.) who had 21 and Matt Seip (Harrisburg, PA.) who had 14.

Both Freeman and Gregory were 8-11 from the field while "Free" was 3-4 from three and "Jiggy" was 1-2. Both were perfect from the free throw line.
