Cincinnati, OH---The Cincinnati State men's basketball team improved to 2-0 on the young season with a 93-65 win over Clark State on Monday.
  
The difference in the game proved to be Clark State's inability to take care of the ball. The Surge defense forced Clark State into 24 turnovers compared to just 3 by Cincinnati State, resulting in a 28-0 advantage in points scored off of turnovers.
 
Four players finished in double digits for the Surge. Leading the way was freshman James Kilpatrick, who finished with 24 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Sophomore Orlando Berry had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Winston Grays finished with 17 points. Forward Terron Ramsey, a freshman from Detroit, MI, had the double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds.
 
"We didn't have our best shooting night but we took care of the ball and played great defense in the second half. With this game out of the way, our focus turns to next weekend's road games against Truman and a tough team in State Fair Community College," Cincinnati State head coach Andre Tate said.
 
The Surge travel to compete in the Lake Land Invitational in Mattoon, IL with games against Truman College on Friday and State Fair Community College on Saturday.
