Box Score TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (February 5, 2022) – The No. 1 Salt Lake Community College Men's Basketball team continued rolling forward Saturday, earning a conference road win over an in-state foe.
 
SLCC picked up a 74-59 victory over USU Eastern, moving to 3-0 on the season over the Eagles. The Bruins are now 26-0 overall and 15-0 in Scenic West Athletic Conference games with the victory.
 
In a game where the statistics were mostly equal, it was Salt Lake's depth that made the overwhelming difference as the Bruins posted a 30-11 edge in bench points. SLCC held a 37-25 halftime lead, never trailing after the opening minutes of the game.
 
"Tonight was another good team win," said SLCC coach Kyle Taylor. "USU Eastern is relentless and they never quit. (USU Eastern coach Bill Evans) has them playing hard, running their matchup zone really well and believing. They are a tough out. We had a strong start and were able to keep separation throughout. It's always good to win on the road in Price, no matter what the score is."
