Men’s Basketball Falls To No. 24 Lee

11/3/2023 4:34:00 PM

TWIN FALLS, Idaho – The Yavapai College men's basketball team took on the No. 24-ranked Lee College Navigators on Friday afternoon in the Idaho Central Credit Union Invitational and fell 93-60 to drop to 1-1 on the young season. 

Like yesterday, it was another slow start for the Roughriders as Lee jumped out to a 20-10 lead just five minutes into the contest. 

After a YC timeout, Lee lengthened its advantage with a 15-4 run and led 35-14 at the halfway point of the first half, cruising to a 59-29 lead at the break. 

Unlike yesterday, a second-half comeback did not await YC and despite a much more even second half (Lee outscoring YC 34-31), Yavapai eventually fell with a 93-60 final. 

Freshman guard Kam O'Bannon led all YC scorers with 16 points and was joined in double digits by fellow freshman guard Khalil O'Bannon who had 12.

The Roughriders conclude their weekend in Idaho with a 2 p.m. game tomorrow (November 4) against the Northwest College Trappers.
