The Pitt-Greensburg men’s basketball team dropped the first game of the season to Muskingum College on Tuesday evening in front of a packed Chambers Hall crowd of 515. The Bobcats jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead but their inexperience got the best of them as they turned the ball over 11 times in the first half and shot just 33.3 percent from the floor.

Muskingum had a lead as big as 20 points. The Bobcats were able to cut it to eight before falling by the score of 68-53. Rashad Davison led the Bobcats with 17 points and six boards, while freshman David Palmer added 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

The Bobcats will return to action this weekend when they participate in the Geneva College Tip-Off Tournament. Their first game in the tournament will be against Marymount University on Friday at 6 p.m.
