Cold shooting doomed the Muskegon Community College men’s basketball team in a 69-52 loss to Mott Community College on Saturday.

The Jayhawks only shot 26 percent from the floor, including 18 percent from 3-point range, and hit only 41 percent of their free throws. The Jayhawks had 32 more field goal attempts than Mott, but couldn’t hit their shots.

Mott outrebounded MCC 49-42 and grabbed an impressive 25 offensive boards.

“It’s so frustrating when you simply just can’t make shots as a coach, and even more so as a player,” said MCC Coach Dave Schlump, whose team dropped to 5-3 on the season. “That was clearly the difference in the game. They made shots and we didn’t.”

Sergio Diaz paced MCC 19 points.
