Leading 59-35 at intermission, Binghamton tacked on 41 more points to finish off its most lopsided win in two years, despite having just seven scholarship players available due to an unprecedented rash of injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Junior forward <a href=\"https:\/\/binghamtonbearcats.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/zyier-beverly\/17077\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"17077\" target=\"_blank\">Zyier Beverly<\/a> hit 10-of-12 shots and poured in a game-high 25 points with nine rebounds, five blocks and three steals.

We attacked the paint in the first half and didn&#8217;t settle. We played to our strengths and saw some threes go down. We wanted to end the non-conference schedule playing the right way and for the most part, we did that. Any win gives you confidence and since we are shorthanded, now we have to figure out who is available and put that group in position to be successful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Bearcats scored 60 points in the paint on the heels of scoring 50 in the paint at Army.
