Turnovers Hurting Men's Cagers

The 2012-2013 Pasadena City College men's basketball team is off to a disappointing 1-5 start and the Lancers' 87-70 non-conference defeat at Santa Monica Nov. 30 repeated the team's current problem--making too many turnovers.

In the SMC defeat, Lancers' sophomore guard Mike Swanegan tallied 23 points, including making four 3-pointers and sophomore guard Evan Brooks (pictured) added 15 points (5-for-5 from the line). Sophomore forward Alec Tatum was 6-for-6 on free throws as part of his 10 points plus he recorded six rebounds. PCC converted 82 percent of its attempts from the 15-foot stripe (18-of-22).
