Men's Basketball: SC4 Advances to the 7th Place Game

Danville, IL – The Skippers were in Danville Illinois playing in the consolation bracket of the NJCAA National Tournament on Friday (March 22). They were the 10th seed playing the 9th seeded Pima Community College out of Arizona in an elimination game.

It was a back and forth start to the game before Pima used a run to stretch their lead out. They went into the halftime break up 40-33. The second half was much of the same and the Skipper's deficit hung around 10. SC4 then went on a 16-3 run to take a 3-point lead. After a couple minutes of back and forth they pushed the lead to and never gave it up. They would win the game 80-70.

As has been the case the entire tournament, Isaiah Jones was the catalyst. He had a monster game, finishing with 31 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 blocks. La'Tavius Vaughter scored 14 and had 10 rebounds to complete the double-double. Tyler Hamilton added in 14 points as well.

With this win the Skippers advance to the 7th place game where they will see conference foe Macomb Community College for the 3rd time this season.

The game will be on Saturday (March 23) at 1:00 PM ET.
