Men's Basketball Back in Playoffs for 10th Straight
Glendora, CA - It wasn't an easy road but in the end, the Citrus College Men's Basketball team persevered and qualified for the CCCAA SoCal Playoffs for a 10th straight year. The Owls earned the #18 seed and will travel to #15 seed Palomar College on Wednesday for a 7 PM showdown.
The Owls overcame a six game losing streak midway through the year that bled three games into the WSC South schedule, to finish 14-13 overall and 8-6 in conference (3rd Place). Citrus finished the year 8-3, picking up the pace in what ended up being a brutally tough WSC South schedule. The Owls haven't missed the playoffs since the 2005-2006 season.
Wednesday night's opponent Palomar College finished 17-10 overall and in 2nd place in the Pacific Coast Conference North Division. It's the 1st meeting between the two schools this season and the 5th in the last 11 years. The Owls are 3-1 in that span, with their lone loss a 63-67 setback in San Marcos back during the 2006-2007 season. That was the only time the two teams played at Palomar in that stretch.
