The MSJC men's basketball team earned their 20th win on the season Wednesday as they went on the road and came away with a 91-81 victory at Victor Valley in an Inland Empire Athletic Conference contest.

The Eagles built a 12 point halftime lead and then held off the Rams, who closed it to within five early on in the second half.  A balanced offensive attack led by 25 points from Isaiah Skinner helped MSJC earn the win.  Skinner also had 9 rebounds and 4 blocked shots while BJ Brown added 23 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals.  Isiah Shirley came off the bench to add 13 points, Dasean Stevens had 11 points and 9 boards.  Elijah Shirley just missed a double double as he scored 9 and pulled in 9 rebounds, Azmar Sabb made a contribution off the bench as he added 6 points.
