During a wild evening inside Howie's Activity Center the men's basketball team defeated the Barclay College Bears 98-82 behind 20 points from senior Dyelan Reed and 15 points a piece from Jamie Juncal, Micah Lovett and Jaxon Hurla. The Thunder dominated the glass out rebounding the Bears by 20 while bringing down 14 offensive rebounds. The first 5 minutes of the ball game MCC held Barclay scoreless starting the game on a 14-0 run. Barclay would claw their way back into the game and cut the MCC lead to only 4 out of the break. 

The second half saw more of the same as MCC would extend their lead to as many 22. With the win the Thunder have improved their record to 13-11 overall and 10-0 in conference play, clinching at least a share of the regular season conference title for the 5th straight season. With a win this weekend they would clinch the title outright. 

"I'm proud of this team and the way they've come together this season. We've experienced more adversity than we have in the past few seasons and could have shut it down a time or two, but they keep showing up for work and I'm grateful for that," said Head Coach Jordan Strom. 

MCC is back in action this weekend as they wrap up the regular season when they play host to Calvary University on Friday night and Ozark Christian College on Saturday afternoon.
