Men's Basketball Heads to Conference Tournament

Jax
Manhattan, Kan.

Post season play is here for the Men's Basketball team. After finishing the regular season 15-11 overall and 12-0 in conference play the Thunder have clinched the #1 seed in the upcoming Midwest Christian College Conference tournament. The team has earned a first round bye and will play in the semifinals on Friday February 23rd at 8:00 pm against the winner of the contest between the #4 seeded Barclay College Bears and the #5 seed the Eagles from Faith Baptist Bible College. Faith Baptist Bible College is the host of this years' conference tournament. 

"Tournament time is always fun because the season resets and everyone is 0-0 going into it. Anything can happen," stated Head Coach Jordan Strom. 

The other half of the bracket will see the #2 seeded Ozark Christian College Ambassadors taking on the #7 seeded Eagles from Emmaus Bible College while Central Christian College of the Bible will be the #3 seed and play the #6 seeded Warriors from Calvary University. Should MCC win their semifinal contest they would advance to the Conference Tournament Championship game on Saturday February 24th at 5:45 pm. If MCC were to be eliminated on Friday night they would play for 3rd place at 1:30 pm. 

"We're very excited to go and compete this weekend," said Coach Strom, "I'm very grateful for the conference and the relationships we've built with the other school and it will be fun to compete with them up in Iowa."
