HENDERSON, Nev. (December 3, 2022) – A highly-touted Scenic West Athletic Conference opener against No. 16 Snow College disappointingly did not go the way of the College of Southern Nevada Men's Basketball team Friday.

In a game where neither team led by more than 12 points, Snow took a 42-38 lead at halftime. CSN had a strong performance from three-point range in the first half, going 6-of-11 from distance as they held leads during part of the first half. The Badgers came battling back in the second half though, outscoring CSN 45-40 on the way to a win.
Southern Nevada had 20 turnovers in the loss, with Snow scoring 25 points off those turnovers.
