The Knights took care of business at home on Friday as they routed Imperial Valley, 119-52, to extend their win streak to six. Seven players scored in double figures, including Kailen Rains who tallied 19 points to go with five assists and three steals, to help the Knights win their 19th straight over IVC.

Anthony Howell recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists as the 11th-ranked Knights improved to 21-4 overall and 12-1 in the PCAC.

The Knights got off to a 17-4 start and kept pouring it on from there. They went ahead by 34 points at the end of the first half, which tied their largest halftime lead of the season, and it continued to balloon to as many as 70 late in the second half.
