1/24/2010 4:19:31 PM – Hobbs, NM - On a night when points were hard to come by, the NMJC men’s basketball lost a highly contested battle, 54-62 to Midland College, the nation’s #1 ranked team. The Thunderbirds held Midland to a season-low 62 points, allowing only 27 in the 2nd half. However, NMJC’s inability to make free throws and hit open shots late in the game, kept the T-Birds from handing Midland their first loss of the season. Playing its third top-20 team in its last four games, the loss dropped NMJC’s record to 14-5 on the season, and 1-2 in the WJCAC Conference.
