Tri-C Men's Basketball falls to #11 Macomb CC on road, 68-66

The Tri-C men's basketball team dropped their second game in a week after an 8-0 start at Macomb on 2 December 2022 by a score of 68 -66. 

Devin Haid lead all Tops in scoring with 20 points including 5 of 6 from the foul line.  Manny Hill finished with 14 points and Nekhi Smith was the other double-digit scorer with 11 along with his team-leading three assists. The Monarchs were ahead by as many as 20 points.  The Tops never let up and almost stole an early-season non-conference road game.

A few foul calls that didn't go Tri-C's way put the Tops at a disadvantage.  The Tops still looked primed to steal the victory but a last-second heave by Tyishawn Smiley was short and the Tops dropped to 8 -2 (0 -1 in the conference). 

The men return home on 7 December at 5:30 pm (Marion Sterling Day) to take on Lorain Community College at the Metro Gym.  The Commodores currently sit at 4 -2 while receiving national votes as a top NJCAA Division III team.  The game is free and open to the public.
