Chandler, AZ-- The Coyote Men's Basketball team advanced to 17-1 on the season after defeating rival Scottsdale Community College on Saturday afternoon. The home team went to the free throw line 48 times throughout the hotly contested matchup and narrowly defeated the visiting Artichokes 92-84 in overtime. Andre Harris, the regining ACCAC Player of the Week lead the team with 23 points in the win. Head Coach Steve Silsby said, "Our guys have a lot of pride and love to compete every night."
