OLD WESTBURY, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's basketball erased a 10-point late in the second half Saturday afternoon to capture an 80-76 come-from-behind Skyline Conference home win from the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) Bears (5-10, 4-7 Skyline) inside Clark Athletic Center.  The Panthers (8-6, 6-3 Skyline) climb their record to 6-1 against St. Joseph's since the 2015-16 campaign.

Kavan Meiner helped St. Joseph's build a 5-0 lead with back-to-back layups 57 second in.  Andrew Buskey and Chase Johnson each scored six points as Old Westbury strung together a 19-7 run over the course of 7:18 to go up by seven (22-15).  The Bears answered with a 9-0 run to take a brief 24-22 lead before Buskey's triple ignited a 7-0 spurt to put the Panthers back up by five (29-24). St. Joseph's regained a two-point lead (31-29) by scoring seven-straight points.  Buskey replied with three of his 12 first-half points at the 1:01 mark to send Old Westbury into the break with a 32-31 advantage.

Down by five (41-36) with 15:31 showing on the second-half clock, St. Joseph's rattled off an 18-3 scoring spree during a stretch of 6:29 to construct a 55-44 lead.  Buskey would later connect from deep to spark a key 24-9 run that saw Old Westbury grab a 70-65 lead with 1:07 remaining. Both teams combined to score 21 points in the final 48 seconds as Pedro Marquez sank the game-winning free throw with 12 seconds left to make it a 77-74 game.  

Buskey nailed five of Old Westbury's season-best 11 three-pointers to cement a career-high 24 points (9-of-14 FG) while nabbing a personal-best four steals.  Marquez totaled 11 of his 16 points in the second half and finished with career highs of nine assists and four steals. Justin Alleyne-Washington collected 16 points (5-of-6 FT), nine rebounds and three steals while Alan McDonald added 13 points (8-of-11 FT) and 13 rebounds off the bench to post his fourth double-double of the season.  Johnson also contributed nine points (2-of-5 3FG) to the win.
