Men's Basketball Races Past Oxnard in Road Test

The Pirates' men's basketball team shot nearly 60 percent in the first half Wednesday night, building a 54-27 lead at Oxnard College en route to a 94-61 runaway victory over the Condors. Tone Patton and Timothy Turner led five players in double-figures with 16 points each while Dayshone Henry, Dayveon Bates and Shulton Tobin all totaled 11 points for VC (20-7, 11-0).
