The Riverland Community College men’s basketball team was coming off a 21-day break, but it picked up right where it left off as it beat Luther JV 79-62 in RCC to win its third straight game Thursday.

Abdibari Abdikadir, a sophomore from Bloomington, had 14 points and 10 rebounds to pick up his second double-double of the season for the Blue Devils (8-4 overall).

“Abdi had a nice game for us and he made some really big plays for us,” RCC head coach Derek Hahn said. “These kind of games scare me a little bit, because that’s a long time off. We played a really good first half.”

RCC will begin conference play when they play at Minnesota West Wednesday.
