The Riverland men’s basketball team saw its chances of making the state tournament come to an end when it lost to Rochester Community and Technical College 84-64 in Riverland Gym Saturday.

The Blue Devils (10-12 overall, 2-7 MCAC South), who are now mathematically eliminated from state contention, were within one point in the second half, but the Yellowjackets pulled away late.

RCC held a 47-31 advantage on the boards, but missed 18 of 20 shots from three-point land.

“We played really well, but we just don’t shoot well from the outside,” RCC head coach Scott Koenigs said.
