Boston, Mass. – The Framingham State University men's basketball team received a double double from JD Okafor, but it was not enough as the Rams were defeated 82-50 on the road this evening by Wentworth in non-conference action.  

THE BASICS: 

- Score: Wentworth 82, Framingham State 50 

- Records:  Framingham State (1-5), Wentworth (2-2) 

- Location:  Boston, Mass. – Tansey Gymnasium  

INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 

  • Framingham State took a pair of leads early, with freshman JD Okafor (Boston, Mass.) scoring four points in a 30-second span to give the Rams an 8-6 lead with 15:51 left. Wentworth responded with one of two free throws from senior Kyle Henseler (Coventry, R.I.) and a three-pointer from classmate Kevin Fernandez (Lawrence, Mass.) to give the Leopards a 10-8 lead. 

  • A jumper from sophomore Jahden Erold (Boston, Mass.) tied the game, and freshman Brett Okundaye (Boston, Mass.) gave the Rams a 12-10 lead with 11:05 left before Wentworth used a 15-5 run, capped off by a Tommy Dooling (Mansfield, Mass.) three pointer with 6:37 left.  

  • Sophomore Jalen Bruce (Springfield, Mass.) countered with a three of his own to cut the lead to five before a layup from senior Trey Carrier (Wilton, N.H.) and a transition three from Dooling pushed the lead to 10 with just under four minutes left.  

  • Framingham State cut the lead to six on two occasions, however, a three pointer from Fernandez with 2:11 left made it 35-26, which is how it would stay through the half. 

  • Carrier and Hacker opened the second half with baskets to push the lead to 13 before Okafor and Bruce got the Rams back to single digits.  

  • That would be as close as the visitors would come as Wentworth used a 27-9 run over the next 10-plus minutes to take a 66-39 lead on a layup from Hacker with 7:27 left. 

  • The Leopards' largest lead of the night (35) came on a freshman Tyler Stewart (East Taunton, Mass.) layup with 2:29 left.
