Waterbury, CT - The Post University men's basketball team lost an 82-68 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) game to Bloomfield on Wednesday evening.

Post is now 13-10 on the season and 8-6 in the CACC. Bloomfield improves to 12-10 overall and 8-5 in the conference.

The Eagles took a brief 6-3 lead to kick off the game behind a three from David Jasson and three points from Abdul-Basit Ajia. The Bears scored the next five, taking an 8-6 lead on a layup from Andres Fulgencio, but a three from D.J. Frechette put the Eagles back up, 9-8.

Bloomfield, however, would go on a 19-5 run to take a 27-14 lead before Cape Holden briefly stopped the run with a three. Post cut their deficit to seven after an offensive rebound and layup from Collins Onyeike made it a 30-23 game with 5:38 remaining. However, the Eagles would just make one more field goal the rest of the way, as the Bears closed with a 15-3 run to take a 45-26 lead at the break.
