Southern Nevada split its two-game series with Colorado Northwestern to open the season, having won the first matchup 102-93 on Oct. 31.

Utah State Eastern (5-2) enters on a three-game winning streak, most recently defeating Western Wyoming 93-68 on Nov. 15. Kayin Turner paced the Eagles with 19 points and three assists in that victory. The Eagles’ only losses this season came against Arizona Western and Western Wyoming.

Friday’s contest is the first of a back-to-back for both teams. Southern Nevada will face Colorado Northwestern again on Saturday, while Utah State Eastern is scheduled to host Central Wyoming.
