SPSCC Clipper Men’s Basketball has rolled last season’s success into the 2017-18 season and outlooks are good.

The men are currently ranked in first place in the NWAC West Region with a record of 9-0 and ranked number six in the NWAC overall according to the coaches’ poll released on Feb. 6.  The Clippers have led the NWAC in scoring defense since the start of West Region play, allowing 63.9 points per game.  The Clippers have also been fourth in the NWAC this season in rebound margin per game.
