Fighting Tigers Close 2013-14 Season on Low Note

The SUNY Cobleskill men's basketball squad capped an already disappointing 2013-14 season by falling 66-57 in the first round of the North Eastern Athletic Conference tournament Friday night to the Penn State Berks Nittany Lions, an opponent the Fighting Tigers had defeated twice in the regular season. 

Led by junior Cortrell King's fourteen point performance, the Fighting Tigers offense had little to celebrate as they struggled with turnovers through out the contest - losing possession twenty-two times to the Nittany Lions - who would convert 45% of their shots  from beyond the arc, and for the upset victory. 

Finishing 11-14 overall in his sixth season at the helm, SUNY Cobleskill head coach Matt Allen will head back to the old drawing board in hopes of configuring a successful formula for the Fighting Tigers. His squad struggled greatly away from home this season, losing ten straight road games at one point, but posted a winning record om campus.
