ALFRED, N.Y. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford men's basketball team fell at Alfred State, 84-53, Wednesday in its non-conference finale.

Alfred State led wire-to-wire, shooting 51.7 percent with 15 buckets in the first half to jump out to a 40-20 advantage at the break.

Pitt-Bradford found more offensive success in the second half as it connected on 41.4 percent of its shots and knocked down six three-pointers.

But Alfred State continued its strong shooting through the final whistle and eventually closed out the 84-53 win.

Playing a team-best 32 minutes, Reggie Rogers dished a game-high nine assists.
