GAME NOTES: The Snow College men's basketball team squares off with Western Wyoming Community College in a standalone game Friday in Price, Utah.  Friday's game will serve as the only game for the Badgers during the week.
 
Snow College is coming off a four-game, six-day road trip in Arizona during which it won all four games against Central Arizona College, Arizona Western Community College, Eastern Arizona College, and Yavapai College.  With the victories, the Badgers have improved to 6-0 and have climbed to seventh in the NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Rankings.
 
As a team, the Badgers shot 50 percent or better from the field in all four games in Arizona, including shooting 61 percent against both CAC and Arizona Western.  Snow College is shooting 55 percent from the field as a team during the season and has shot over 50 percent in five of its six games.  The shooting percentage is good enough to slot the Badgers fifth overall in the nation.
 
The Badgers' hot shooting has also translated from behind the 3-point line.  As a team, they are shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc, which is good enough to slot them in 10^th overall in the country.  They have shot 44 percent or better from 3-point range in three of six games this season including shooting 14-22(.636) in their 94-70 victory against AWC.
 
Isaac Garrett(22p, 11r) and Isaac Finlinson(11p, 10r) each recorded a double-double against EAC.  They are the first pair of teammates to record a double-double in the same game since Hayden Franson and Chase Potter did so in a game against Mesa Community College Dec. 12, 2022.
 
Coleman Ford dished out 10 assists in the Badgers' 94-75 victory against CAC.  This is a career-high for Ford and also the first time a Badger has recorded at least 10 assists since Drake Allen had 11 in a game against Colorado Northwestern Community College Feb. 2, 2022.
 
The Badgers are 8-6 overall against WWCC historically but have not faced the Mustangs since Feb. 2, 2021.  Snow College earned a victory in that match, 77-52, but had lost each of the previous three meetings with WWCC.
 
The Mustangs own a 2-3 overall record through the first two weeks of the 2024-25 regular season.  They are averaging 71.6 points per game as a team on 45 percent shooting.  They are coming off a 91-65 defeat against North Idaho College last Saturday.
 
LAST TIME OUT:  The Snow College men's basketball team collected four victories in a six-day span against Central Arizona College, Arizona Western College, Eastern Arizona College and Yavapai College last week.
 
Isaac Finlinson carried much of the load against the Vaqueros as he recorded 24 point and 11 rebounds in the 94-75 victory.  McCaden Adams chipped in 18 points while Isaac Garrett added 17 points as the Badgers shot 62 percent from the field.
 
The Badgers caught fire from beyond the arc against AWC as they went 14-22 from distance.  Chance Trujillo missed just one shot all night as he went 8-9/7-8, totaling 23 points in the win.  Finlinson, Adams, and Mark Brown Jr. all scored in double figures.
 
The Badgers' shooting cooled off a bit in the 79-60 victory against EAC as they shot 52 percent from the field and 28 percent from 3.  Finlinson and Garrett both recorded double-doubles as Garrett stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals. Finlinson recorded 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists in the win.
 
Five Badgers scored in double figures led Garrett and Adams, who each chipped in 14 points.  Lemke had 12 points, while Trujillo had 11 and Brown Jr. had 10. The Badgers surrendered just 29 points in the second half which is the lowest they've allowed in any half this season.
 
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Isaac Garrett of the Snow College men's basketball team has been named the Scenic West Athletic Conference Player of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.  Garrett helped the Badgers earn three victories during the week.
 
Garrett, a sophomore from Pleasant Grove, Utah, averaged 16 points per game across the three victories against Central Arizona College, Arizona Western College, and Eastern Arizona College last week.  He did so on 67 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from beyond the arc.  Garrett also averaged 7.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game.
 
Garrett is currently second on the team in scoring as he averages 16.5 points per game through the first six games of the regular season.  He has scored in double figures in five of six games including four games in which he has scored 15 points or more.  His efforts have helped the Badgers jump out to a 6-0 start and climb to 7^th in the NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Poll.
 
Over his two seasons with the Badgers, Garrett has played in 30 games, 13 starts, and averages 10.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.  He is a 57 percent shooter from the field throughout his career, including shooting 65 percent from the field this season.
