The MSJC men's basketball team lost a pair of tough road games as they fell at #3 ranked Fullerton College and at Ventura.
The Eagles lost at #3 Fullerton on November 23rd as they fell behind by 9 at the half on their way to a 66-48 defeat. MSJC struggled on the offensive end all night as they finished shooting just 15 of 57 (26.3%) on the evening. Jamaal Barnes and Brandon Fredrick each scored 10 points to pace the Eagles in scoring. Chidi Okwarabizie had a team best 7 rebounds.
On Saturday November 30th the Eagles got out to as much as an 8 point lead midway through the first half, before Ventura closed out the first half with a 22-7 run to lead at the break 41-34. The Pirates slowly pulled away in the second to win 80-62. Fredrick led three Eagles in double figures with 12 while Barnes and Latravian Glover each had 11 for the Eagles.
