ALAMOSA, Colo. (February 26, 2015) – The last chapter of the regular season ends this weekend for Adams State University with a pair of road games against Colorado Mesa University and Western State Colorado University. Both contests are slated for 7:00 p.m. starts. Live coverage will be available for fans unable to attend.

Last Time Out
The Grizzlies split their home games last weekend against Regis University and Metropolitan State University of Denver. In the 85-52 win over Regis, senior Mike Hemsley grabbed a season-high 24 points and finished 10-of-11 from the field. As a team, ASU shot 56 percent (30-53) and never trailed at any point in the contest. The Grizzlies finished with the edge in points off turnovers (24-7), second chance points (13-2), bench points (34-18), and points in the paint (34-12).

Adams State concluded the weekend with an 84-79 loss to No. 9 Metro State. A cold start haunted the Grizzlies as an early deficit blossomed to double figures before halftime. A strong 52 percent (19-36) shooting mark in the second half helped ASU mount a comeback. Late three-pointers from Juwan Buchanan and Justin Kauffman put the Grizzlies within two but following shots down the stretch did not fall resulting in defeat.  

About The Mavericks
Colorado Mesa enters the weekend on a five game winning streak that places them with a 19-7 overall record and a 14-6 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) mark.
