The DCB Lumberjack men's basketball team struggled to get anything going offensively Tuesday night and fell to the TMCC Mikinocks 80-59.

TMCC jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead and forced a DCB timeout. Late in the half the Jacks got a spark from Max Groom off the bench. Groom scored 11 points in the first half and helped cut the TMCC lead to four at 28-24 at the half. Loukas Triantis hit a corner three at the start of the second half to cut the Mikinocks lead to one, but that's as close as the Lumberjacks would get. DCB did not have an answer for TMCC's James Keplin who had a game high 33 points. Keplin would be joined in double figures by Tegan Medicine Bull with 13 and Wyatt Eno with 11.

Max Groom led the Jacks off the bench with 22 points he was joined in double figures by Jacob Smith with 10. Connor Trahan added in 9 points on three 3-pointers. With the loss DCB falls to 0-1 on the season. Next up the Jacks will take part in an in-season Mon-Dak Conference Tournament in New Town. The Jacks will play Dawson Community College in the first round. Stay tuned to DCB Athletics social media channels for more updates on live stream information.
