GREENSBORO, N.C. - An historic 2023-24 campaign came to an end for Penn State Harrisburg's men's basketball with a 76-59 loss at No. 7 Guilford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night, March 2.

Donyae Baylor-Carroll led the way with a team-high 16 points, four assists, and three steals, while Isaiah Milien hit four 3-pointers and matched a team-high 16 points. Isaiah Eggleston added a dozen points off the bench. 

In the first half, the Quakers (24-4) got off 18 more attempts than Penn State Harrisburg (25-5), grabbed 13 offensive rebounds, and knocked down five more 3-pointers than the Lions, including a couple of wild ones that fell late in the shot clock, to build a 45-21 lead at the break.

Baylor-Carroll opened the second half with a 5-0 spurt of his own before finding Milien for a transition layup that cut the deficit to 45-28 with 17:35 remaining. Each time the visitors appeared ready to make a meaningful run, the Quakers responded with a timely bucket. 

Guilford was able to stretch its advantage back to 20 by the five-minute mark and the Lions's comeback effort ran out of gas in the closing minutes.
