It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Geneseo had no problem doing just that on Monday. They walked away with a 46-37 win over the Red Creek Rams. Given the Blue Devils' advantage in MaxPreps' New York basketball rankings (they are ranked 142nd, while the Rams are ranked 306th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

It was another big night for Oren Ray, who went 9-for-15 on his way to 21 points in addition to eight rebounds and three steals. He has been hot, having posted three or more steals the last five times he's played. Avery Hepler also deserves some recognition as he posted his first block of the season.
Geneseo smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 12 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in four consecutive games.
Geneseo has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 65.9 points over those games. Red Creek moved to 15-6 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Coming up, Geneseo will welcome Alexander at 9:00 p.m. on Friday. Geneseo will be up against Alexander's rather soft defense (which has allowed 50.7 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Red Creek does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
