The MSJC men's basketball team fell victim to some hot first half shooting by Antelope Valley and couldn't quite recover as they lost 86-77 in Lancaster.

The Eagles trailed by 7 at the half 42-35, but got to within one midway through the second half.  For just the second time this season MSJC was out rebounded on the night 44-41.

Bucky Chenault came off the bench to lead three Eagles in double figures with 18 points.  Darren May added 14 along with 5 assists and Dakota Downs just missed a double double with 12 points and 9 rebounds.  The loss drops MSJC to 15-6 overall and 4-3 in Foothill Conference games, while Antelope Valley improved to 15-6 and 4-3.

The Eagles are back in action on Saturday afternoon when they take on first place San Bernardino Valley at 3 pm.  You can listen to all the exciting action Saturday on the Eagle Radio Network at msjc.edu or on your radio at AM 1620.
