In the evening's second game Midland College Chaparrals seized early control in route to a 95-41 blowout versus the Howard College men on Midland College Domestic Violence Awareness Night at the Chaparral Center. 

MC's Doug Young led the offensive attack for the Chaps with a 19-point outburst in the first half in what could only be described as a shooting exhibition.  Young led all scorers with 26 points followed by 13-points each by MC's Keonte Jones and Trent Johnson.  Midland College shot a blistering 52.6% from the three-point line and 65.6% from the floor to improve to 18-4 on the season and 4-4 in conference.

Both MC basketball teams return to action on Saturday, February 4^th at Levelland versus South Plains College.  The games were rescheduled after icy and cold weather conditions forced league wide postponements on Monday (January 30^th) due to hazardous travel conditions. 

The Lady Chaps and Lady Texans are scheduled for a 2:00 p.m. start with the Chaps and Texans slated for a 4:00 p.m. opening tip.
