OLD WESTBURY, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's basketball returned home Tuesday to open the 2018 calendar year with a 93-84 Skyline Conference setback to the visiting College of Mount Saint Vincent Dolphins (6-5, 4-2 Skyline) inside Clark Athletic Center.

Old Westbury (3-7, 2-3 Skyline) committed a trio of turnovers to fall behind early as Mount Saint Vincent jumped out to an 11-0 advantage 3:06 in.  After trailing 13-1, Old Westbury scored seven of the game's next nine points capped by Brandon Thomson's 3-pointer to pull within seven (15-8) with 14:06 left.  The Panthers scored 11 unanswered points to take their first lead (19-18) off a 3-point play from Alan McDonald with 11:15 remaining.  Moments later, Old Westbury worked its way out of a six-point deficit (30-24) with an 11-0 run to go up 35-30 at 4:27.  Both teams played even for the final 3:33 for Old Westbury's 45-40 lead at intermission.  

Mount Saint Vincent scored eight-straight points to open second-half play before Old Westbury countered with a 12-4 run to take a 57-52 lead with 13:05 remaining.  Following a 5-0 spurt that gave Old Westbury a 68-64 lead, Mount Saint Vincent strung together a 15-2 run from 6:49 to 3:01 to take a 79-70 advantage.  The Dolphins played with the lead for the final 6:22 as Makai Johnson's 3-pointer put Mount Saint Vincent ahead to make it a 69-68 game.  Mount Saint Vincent extended its lead to a game-high 13 points (88-75) off Ammad Alkhulaidi's 3-point play with 1:03 left.
