Moberly, Mo. -- Indian Hills saw its 12-game winning streak snapped and suffered only its third loss of the season on Tuesday night when the Moberly Greyhounds slammed the Warriors, 84-64.
Moberly (22-7) pulled away from a 2-2 tie to lead by as many as 17 points in the first half. The Warriors (26-3) finally got going offensively in the latter stages of the half and cut the deficit to 38-30 by halftime.
Indian Hills had just eight players available for the game with five IHCC squad members serving the first game of suspensions handed down by the conference office as a result of last Saturday's post-game fracas at Southeastern.
After showing signs of life at the end of the opening half, the Warriors couldn't get closer than four points in the second half, the last time at 58-54.
Mike Anderson, who led Moberly with 22 points, hit a 3-pointer to start a 13-0 run for the Greyhounds and IHCC never threatened again.
Anderson scored all but two of his points in the second half.
One of the lone bright spots for the Warriors came when their scoring leader, Jameel McKay, scored his seventh and final field goal of the night late in the second half, a basket that put him over the 1,000-point mark for his career.
McKay is now at 1,001 points, the first IHCC player to surpass 1,000 points since teammates Dwight Buycks and Dwight Hardy both passed the milestone in the 2008-09 season.
Frank Williams led four Indian Hills players in double figures against Moberly with 17 points. Trinson White, on the strength of three 3-pointers in the second half, had 13 and Jelan Kendrick 12.
Indian Hills will close out the regular season Saturday night by hosting Marshalltown CC at the Hellyer Center.
