The Huntingdon men’s basketball team started strong Wednesday night.

But 19th-ranked Birmingham-Southern took the lead shortly before halftime and never trailed again. The Panthers controlled the second half and won 93-75.   

This was the second meeting between the two teams in five games. Birmingham-Southern (5-0) edged Huntingdon (0-5) by two points in the season opener at Roland Arena.
