Pasadena City College men's basketball sophomore forward-center Deandro Worrell has signed to continue his playing/educational career with NCAA Division III McMurry University in Abline, Tx. For Worrell, it's going back to his home state of Texas for the two-year letterman as the 6-foot-6 talent originally came to PCC from El Dorado High in El Paso.
For the first time in six years, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team placed as high as second in the South Coast Conference North Division. The Lancers closed out the 2019-2020 season by winning two close games in the final week, including Friday's 79-77 triumph at Mt. San Antonio College.
When the Pasadena City College men's basketball team first met state No. 3-ranked East Los Angeles, the result was a program downer. The Lancers suffered their worst loss of the season by 30 points against the talented Huskies. Looking for an easy time again on Friday at PCC, ELAC learned the hosts were not allowing for "showtime" or the cameras of Last Chance U for that matter.
After falling behind by as much as 13 points late in the first half and nine at halftime, 42-33, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team looked for someone to energize the troops. Sophomore forward Deandro Worrell took on the task, scoring 15 of his 18 points in the second half to lift the Lancers over Mt. San Antonio, 85-69, at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium Wednesday evening.
On a Friday night when Pasadena City College men's basketball guard Rasheet Wilson poured in 39 points, he wasn't even the game's leading scorer as Los Angeles Trade Tech's Mark Chin scored 40 points as part of a triple-double. The Lancers lost a wild, South Coast Conference North Division game, 110-105.
A sophomore point guard who routinely plays all 40 minutes on many nights, Pasadena CIty College men's basketball's London Benford is known more for his defense and passing, content to let others reach high in the scoring column. But on Friday night with his team in desperate need of a win, it was the 6-foot-2 Benford who PCC leaned on to get more involved in the offense.
While they don't count in the South Coast Conference North Division standings, crossover games v. South Division opponents were a nightmare for the Pasadena City College men's basketball team in 2020. Cerritos extended PCC's losing streak to six games, 91-85, on Friday at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium. It was also the fifth consecutive defeat v. a SCC South opponent since the start of the new year.
For the third time in a 6-1 winning stretch by the Pasadena City College men's basketball team, the Lancers held an opponent to less than 50 points. This time it was El Camino that had trouble with PCC's intense defensive approach as Pasadena posted a 72-47 victory Wednesday night at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
Fresh off of rebounding from an 0-3 start to the 2019-20 season with two victories at the Los Angeles Valley Classic, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team will host the 3rd Skip Robinson Classic this Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 14-16 at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium. It will be the Lancers first home games on their refurbished home floor.
The cycle of community college basketball's 2-year system is such that one season you can be blessed with a veteran lineup and the next year a whole new rotation. That's the case for the 2019-2020 Pasadena City College men's basketball team.
