| Chargers outlast Monmouth Roseville, 60-52 |
| The
early crowd at Western Hall was treated to an
exciting contest to begin the second day of play
at the Macomb-Western Holiday Tournament. In the
end Illini West endured six lead changes and five
ties before notching a 60-52 win over
Monmouth-Roseville. The Titans, last year's champs, took a three-point lead on a Markus Hunter layup early in the final quarter, but Illini West's (2-4) Cody Carson answered with a three to knot the score at 39. The Chargers took the lead for good on a pair of Drake Schmudlach free throws with just over six minutes to play. Monmouth-Roseville (6-5) became the first defending champion to go two-and-out since Warsaw won the 1998 gathering and then went on to lose both of their 1999 contests. The Titans were led by Nick Leary's 23 points, seven of which came from the free-throw line in nine attempts. Illini West Got 19 points from Cody Carson who hit on five of his 11 three-point attempts. Jacob Schmudlach scored 14 and collected 10 rebounds while Drake Schmudlach and Ser Whitaker added 11 points each. The Chargers await the West Hancock vs. Knoxville winner.
