Box Score ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - The Bard College men's basketball team has proven this season that it can sometimes compete with some of the top teams in the conference.

RPI, however, isn't one of them.

Playing against the worst defensive team in the league, Bard was held to 17 first-half points en route to a 77-51 loss. The Raptors finish the Liberty League season at 1-15; they are 4-20 overall with one non-league game left on Friday night.
