Greensboro, NC – The Greensboro College Men's Basketball team was back home in the friendly confines of Hanes Gymnasium on Wednesday night, as they hosted Brevard College in another USA South match-up.  The Pride would stage a second half comeback, but they eventually fell to the Tornados by a final score of 70-63.

The first half saw Brevard jump out to a 6-2 lead, but baskets from Junior Matthew Brown (Orlando, FL) and Junior Joshua McQuinn (Westfiled, NC) kept Greensboro from letting the Tornados extend it.  A few possessions later McQuinn would pull the Pride to within one point and eventually Junior Isaiah Pruett (Asheville, NC) gave Greensboro their first lead of the game, 18-16.  Both teams would trade baskets and the lead, and with 1:08 remaining in the half, the score was tied at 26-26.  Brevard was able to gain a small advantage and, as the half came to an end, they went into the locker room leading the Pride by a score of 30-26.

Greensboro would fall behind by eight points to start the second half, until Senior Kevon Wright (Greensboro, NC) converted a basket.  Eventually, a Senior Ty Hill (Shallotte, NC) three-pointer pulled the Pride to withing 38-36, but the Tornados would answer with a three-pointer of their own.  Another three-pointer put them up 49-40, and they would eventually go ahead by double-digits.  The Pride began a run and cut the lead to two points, after a Junior Mason Sergi (Ashburn, VA) three-pointer, but that is as close as they could get, as they would fall to Brevard, 70-63.
