DANVILLE, Ill. — Allen Community College has some work to do if it wants to stick around in its first-ever trip to the NJCAA-Division II National Basketball Tournament.
The Red Devils were greeted rather rudely Tuesday by the Lakeland (Ohio) Lakers, who blitzed their way to an early 12-0 run and never looked back in an 82-61 victory.
The loss means Allen (27-6) can finish no higher than seventh in the 16-team tournament. Allen will play Florida Gateway at 3 p.m. Wednesday in Danville’s Mary Miller Gymnasium.
