Binghamton Controls the Tempo, Defeats Rider

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — The Binghamton Bearcats used efficient shooting, strong ball movement, and defensive pressure to earn a 75-63 victory over the Rider Broncs. Led by standout performances from Jeremiah Quigley, Dylan Godfrey, and Demetrius Lilley, Binghamton established control early and maintained its advantage throughout the contest.

The game opened with both teams exchanging competitive offensive and defensive possessions. Binghamton began creating separation by pushing the tempo, attacking the weak side of Rider’s defense, and generating quality scoring opportunities.

Dylan Godfrey helped establish the Bearcats’ offensive rhythm with efficient shot-making. He finished with 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting, including two three-pointers, providing a reliable scoring presence throughout his 35 minutes.

Jeremiah Quigley also played an important role in organizing Binghamton’s offense. His ability to facilitate, read the defense, and create opportunities for teammates helped the Bearcats maintain offensive flow. Meanwhile, Lilley provided a strong interior presence, consistently competing for rebounds and creating additional possessions.

Rider continued to battle and attempted to cut into the deficit. Khalil Farmer led the Broncs offensively, finishing with 15 points while providing an important scoring option. Horace Simmons Jr. also supplied a spark off the bench, knocking down four three-pointers and finishing with 12 points.

Despite Rider’s efforts, Binghamton’s offensive execution allowed the Bearcats to take a 42-32 lead into halftime.

Binghamton carried its momentum into the second half, continuing to push the pace and attack Rider through transition opportunities and effective ball movement.

Quigley delivered one of the game’s most complete performances, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, and 12 assists. His ability to score while creating opportunities for others demonstrated his impact as the primary offensive facilitator. He consistently helped Binghamton find quality looks and maintain control of the game.

Godfrey continued to provide efficient scoring, while Lilley controlled the glass with 16 rebounds, including eight offensive boards. Lilley’s work on the offensive glass gave Binghamton valuable second-chance opportunities and limited Rider’s ability to finish defensive possessions.

Rider attempted to stay within striking distance behind Farmer’s scoring and Simmons Jr.’s perimeter shooting. However, the Broncs struggled to generate consistent offensive opportunities against Binghamton’s defensive pressure. The Bearcats maintained a lead of more than 10 points for much of the second half, eventually closing out the 75-63 victory.
