Bishops Control Greensboro in Conference Home Win

Rocky Mount, NC - N.C. Wesleyan continued its strong start to USA South play with a 77–62 victory over Greensboro on January 10 at Everett Gymnasium, showcasing balanced scoring, physical play in the paint, and an ability to control pace on both ends of the floor. The Bishops jumped out quickly and carried a 38–21 lead into halftime, establishing a rhythm with aggressive drives and efficient offense. Wesleyan generated offense in multiple areas, scoring 44 points in the paint and converting key opportunities off turnovers for 16 points, while also posting 14 points on fast breaks that helped sustain momentum in front of an engaged home crowd. The Bishops finished with a well-rounded effort that highlighted both experience and depth in a meaningful conference matchup.

N.C. Wesleyan's offensive attack was led by Nasir Johnson, who delivered a standout performance with 27 points on 11-of-17 shooting, including five three-pointers that kept the pressure on Greensboro's defense. Rashod Smith added 13 points, using his strength in transition and ability to finish inside to keep the Bishops rolling, and Deejayy Cox contributed 10 points on efficient shooting while helping spark Wesleyan's first-half surge. Justin Burden added eight points and nine rebounds, giving Wesleyan a strong presence on the glass, and Markquan Gilbert chipped in 14 points with physical play in the interior that fueled second-chance opportunities. With contributions up and down the lineup and consistent defense that limited Greensboro's offense after halftime, the Bishops showed poise and execution in securing an important 77–62 conference victory. Your Bishops will be back in action at home on Sunday, January 11, 2026, when they host Brevard College at 2:00 p.m. at Everett Gymnasium in USA South Conference play.
