Box Score Lansing, MI. -- The GRCC Men's Basketball team entered Saturdays (2/10/2018) matchup with Lansing looking to gain ground on Lake Michigan College in the MCCAA conference standings. It seemed that a struggling Lansing team would be a great opportunity to secure a big conference road win. But Lansing would use a huge first half and great team basketball to down the Raiders by a final score of 96 to 76. After the loss, GRCC moves into a two way tie for fourth place in the MCCAA-West with Muskegon Community College. The Raiders and the Jayhawks, who split their regular season meetings, both sit at 7-5 in the conference with six games remaining.

The Raiders shot 38% from the floor and a dismal 22% from behind the arc on 22 attempts. In contrast, the Stars hit 48% from the floor and 41% from three point land, going 12/29 for the game.
