OLD WESTBURY, NY --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's basketball had their four-game winning streak snapped Tuesday evening  after suffering a 76-48 setback at home to the defending Skyline Conference champions Yeshiva University Maccabees (10-5, 8-2 Skyline) inside Clark Athletic Center.  The Panthers (10-7, 8-5 Skyline) move to 11-2 on campus against Yeshiva since 2008-09.

The Panthers then used a 9-2 run to pull within five at the 13:48 mark as Justin Alleyne-Washington contributed four points to the spurt.  Yeshiva regained a double-digit lead by scoring 10-unanswered points to go up 30-15 with 6:34 remaining in the half. Old Westbury outscored the Maccabees 14-6 over the final 6:16 to trail 36-29 at intermission.

Pedro Marquez finished with 13 points (3-of-6 3FG) and two steals to pace Old Westbury.  Alan McDonald added 10 points and six rebounds while totaled nine points and two steals.

Tal Gweta chipped in 14 points (6-of-8 FG) while Ryan Turell poured in 10 points and dished out five assists.

Old Westbury finished the evening shooting a season-low 22.2 percent (16-of-72) from the field and 19.2 percent (5-of-26) from beyond the arc while draining 78.6 percent (11-of-14) from the free-throw line.  Yeshiva connected on 53.3 percent (32-of-60) from the floor, 47.1 percent (8-of-17) from three-point territory and 57.1 percent (4-of-7) from the charity stripe. Despite losing the boards battle, 48-36, Old Westbury scored eight second-chance points off 14 offensive rebounds.  Yeshiva outplayed Old Westbury in assists (24-10), steals (9-7), bench points (14-8) and points in the paint (44-18).
