The Seward County Community College men’s basketball team suffered their worst loss this season in a 64-43 loss at home against Garden City Community College on Wednesday night at the Green House. Seward was held scoreless during the opening three minutes of the game, and the SCCC offense was never able to recover as Garden City held the Saints to 25 percent shooting for the game, and a miniscule 13 percent shooting (4-for-30) from three-point territory. It was the lowest Saints point total in their last 101 games, dating back to a non-conference 60-40 loss at
Cowley
County
Community College
in 2003.

drops to 11-7 overall and 2-3 in the Jayhawk West Conference. Garden City improves to 4-15 overall and 4-2 in conference competition.
