NEW YORK, N.Y.— The John Jay men's basketball team guaranteed itself a regular season record of over .500 this year as the Bloodhounds picked up a conference win over Hunter College 73-62 at Hunter on Wednesday.
 
John Jay now has 13 wins and can finish no worse than 13-12 if the Bloodhounds were to lose their remaining regular season game this season.
