The College of Wooster men's basketball team shot nearly 60 percent in its home opener to coast to an 83-59 win over State University of New York College at Geneseo on Friday evening in what marked night one of the program's annual Al Van Wie/Wooster Rotary Classic.

Wooster (1-2) raced out to an 11-3 lead in the opening 3:09. Junior transfer Quincy Jones was a focal point of the Fighting Scots' offense, scoring the team's first six points. Senior Isaac Roeder followed with a 3-pointer from the wing, then senior Isaiah Johnson motored down the court for a transition layup to cap the opening stretch.

Roeder's second triple of the game made it 27-15 with 8:26 left in the first half, and Wooster's lead stayed in double digits the rest of the way. Wooster's lead was 16 at 33-17 when sophomore Breckman Oakley's step-back 3-pointer swished home at 6:31, and the lead was back to 16 at 44-28 come halftime, thanks to Roeder's third triple of the half.

Wooster broke things wide open late, scoring the final 10 points of the contest. Jones' floating jumper made it 75-59, then his turnaround jumper dropped, making it 77-59 with 2:32 to go. Senior Jaiden Cox-Holloway, who passed out his fifth assist of the night on Jones' final bucket, quickly deflected the ball away for a steal on Geneseo's (2-3) next possession. Next, Roeder was dishing out his fifth assist of the night, as Johnson hit a 3-pointer to make it 80-59. First-year Tommy Vaughn Jr. capped the scoring with Wooster's 10th 3-pointer of the night.

Defensively, Wooster held Geneseo to 39 percent shooting for the game at 23-of-59. Roeder had three of Wooster's nine steals, while Oakley took high honors on the night with two of the team's five blocked shots.
