Box Score The Madison College men's basketball team was defeated by the College of DuPage Chapparals 77-50 in a N4C conference game in Madison on Saturday afternoon. The loss ended the WolfPack's bid for two straight wins, and dropped their overall record to 3-18 and 1-5 in the N4C.

The WolfPack also shot 50 percent from the field and 62.5 percent shooting (5-for-8) beyond the arc  in the first half, but DuPage's clear advantage in points in the paint (18 to 12) and better passing (14 assists) were keys to taking the lead after 20 minutes.
