Queens College used a late rally to spoil the Lincoln University men's basketball team's home opener Tuesday night, handing the Lions a 76-71 defeat in overtime at Manuel Rivero Hall.

The Lions remain winless at 0-5 while the Knights improve to 3-2.

Joshua Davis (Saginaw, MI/Louisburg Junior College) and Vernon Young (Chicago, Ill./University of St. Mary) each recorded a double-double to pace the Lions offensive effort.  Davis notched a team-high 21 points while grabbing 12 rebounds while Young added 15 points and 10 rebounds.  The game marks the first time two Lincoln players recorded a double-double in the same game since November 17, 2010 when Gene Smith and Terron Jones achieved the feat against Holy Family University.
