Final Road Games
The Grizzlies will be back on the road for the last time this season, facing Fort Lewis College and Western Colorado. The Grizzlies are looking for revenge against the Skyhawks as the last contest was a close game from start to finish. Unfortunately, the Skyhawks came up with the win 75-76, but the Grizzlies are looking to change it this time around.
The Grizzlies will be looking to use senior
Malik Moore as a huge component for this coming game. His last weekend game
Malik Moore got his first double-double of the season finishing with 11 rebounds and 18 points. He was also 3-of-4 from the free throw line. The perfect power forward duo that Adams State has seen in a long time is Fred Jackson and Moore as they always dominate strong on the board, and on average scoring 20-plus points, combined. The Grizzlies will be needing these two to take home a victory.
Saturday will be the Grizzlies first time meeting against Western for the 2021 season. Junior
Destan Williams is a huge asset when it comes to the Grizzles. He is the starting point guard leading the Grizzlies in points, averaging 19.
Even though the Grizzlies lost to No. 8 Colorado Mesa on the road, 80-66 in overtime,
Destan Williams had 15 points and five steals. ASU needs his scoring ability and his intense defense if they want to get a victory against Western Colorado.
The Grizzlies have been on a two-game losing streak on the road, but that is looking to change this coming weekend.
