The Lincoln Land Logger's men's basketball team fell in a Mid-West Athletic Conference game against Danville Area Community College, 79-65 on Saturday afternoon at Cass Gym.

The Lincoln Land Loggers got scoring going on a jumper by AJ Tillman, but that 2-0 score would be the only instance of the Loggers being in front. DACC scored on the very next possession and led the rest of the afternoon, mostly by double digits. Danville put together the next 11 points and the Loggers quickly found themselves down 11-2. LLCC was able to settle into the flow and got back within 3 at 13-10, but a Jaguars 13-0 run made sure that was short lived. Once up double digits, DACC made sure to never let the Loggers get any closer. The halftime score of 34-23 was the closest it would be the rest of the game. 

Danville started the second half on an 8-0 run and overall went on a 17-4 run in the first five minutes of the second half to put the game beyond any Logger comeback. Danville led by as many as 24 and the closest LLCC could get was 14 on a few occasions. Danville cruised to the final of 79-65.
