BLOOMFIELD, N.J. – The Post University men's basketball team was defeated by Bloomfield 81-58 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) matchup Tuesday night. Freshman Darrick Boyd (Springfield, Mass.) was 6-of-8 from distance and led the Eagles with 21 points.
 
Post fell behind 12-6 early in the opening half, but used a 12-2 run capped by baskets from junior Tamas Okros (Bristol, England) to jump ahead 18-14 with 11:06 to go. The Bears answered with an 11-0 spurt to pull in front by seven and led the rest of the night.
 
The Eagles made one more push at the end of the first as Boyd nailed back-to-back threes trimming the advantage to 40-33 at the break. Senior Joseph Lockwood (London, England) hit a jumper to start the second as Post pulled within five, but the Eagles would never get closer.
 
Okros finished 6-for-8 from the floor and scored 14 points. Lockwood added eight points and six rebounds. Bloomfield held a 19-0 advantage in points off turnovers.
