The Greensboro College men's basketball team (12-8 overall, 6-5 USA South) continued its hot run on Wednesday with a 93-86 road win at North Carolina Wesleyan (14-8 overall, 6-6 USA South).  The win marked the fourth in a row for The Pride and the sixth of the past seven.

Greensboro opened up a tight beginning with a 6-0 run to grab a 22-17 lead with 11:57 on the clock.  The Bishops would hang around, coming back to tie the game and take a brief 27-25 lead at the 7:58 mark.  

However, The Pride rolled off another six unanswered points to go up 31-27 lead with 7:10 left in the half.  The spurt continued, as Greensboro extended the advantage to double digits at 42-32 with 3:14 to play.

North Carolina Wesleyan would keep it within striking distance at the break though, pulling to within 44-40.

The Bishops regained the lead in the early minutes of the second half and went by as many as five points before Greensboro rallied to even the game at 65-65 at the midway point.

The lead would bounce back and forth until The Pride ran off 11 straight points to go on top 79-71 with 5:47 left in the game.  Greensboro would grow the advantage to 82-73 and would keep North Carolina Wesleyan at arms length for the remainder of the contest.

The Battling Bishops pulled as close as 82-78 with 2:41 remaining but would get no closer than five the rest of the way.

Luqman Tijani poured in a team high 26 points with Damian Dixon adding 19.  Both players grabbed seven rebounds apiece.  Chakiris Moss also had a solid night with 14 points and six assists, while Brian Thomas chipped in with 12 points and six rebounds.
