Salt Lake City, Utah - The Adams State University men's basketball team (5-7, 3-3 RMAC) again found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard tonight as they closed out the toughest road test of the season so far. Fresh off a loss to No. 15 Fort Lewis last Tuesday, competition was no easier in tonight's 77-93 loss to a tough Westminster (9-1, 5-1 RMAC) team.
 
A fast break layup by Shane Johnson put the Grizzlies up by two in the early minutes, but that would be their only lead of the game. The Griffins would build a solid lead but Trace Dimeff cut it to nine with a last second three before the half.
 
Shane Johnson gave Adams a spark early in the second half to get them within five. Westminster would run away with it after that, leading by as much as 22 points on the way to their fourth straight conference win.
