PURCHASE, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's basketball outscored the Purchase College Panthers (7-6, 5-4 Skyline) 51-43 in the second half to claim a 92-87 Skyline Conference road win Tuesday evening inside Purchase College Gymnasium.  Old Westbury (9-6, 7-3 Skyline) are now 6-2 against Purchase dating back to the 2014-15 campaign.
