No. 28-ranked Riverside City College handed No. 8-ranked Mt. San Antonio College its first loss of the season Tuesday afternoon with an 85-67 dominating victory.
The Tigers improve to 6-2 with the win, while the Mounties slip to 6-1 on the year.
Andre Skelin led all scorers with 31 points (13-for-20) and was one board shy of a double-double. Christian Warren followed with 18 points (7-for-11), while Corey Mitchell chipped in 10 points (5-for-10).
Jayden Miller dished out nine assists without turning the ball over once, while Warren and Mitchell also had five assists.
As a team, Riverside shot at 55.4 percent, while limiting the Mounties to 38.7 percent from the floor.
RCC found itself trailing by seven three minutes into the second half but called a timeout and battled back before taking the lead off a Skelin basket with 13 minutes to play.
Halfway through the second, the Tigers went on a roll after Tylon Williams stole the ball away on consecutive Mountie possessions and Mitchell laid in the fast break to put RCC up by nine, 64-55.
Mt. SAC called a timeout, but Riverside wasn't done yet and built as high as a 21-point lead before finalizing the 85-67 victory.
RCC remains at home as it hosts the Hypland Classic Dec. 4, 5, and 7. The Tigers first take on Ventura College on Dec. 4 at 4 p.m.
