Men's basketball ends season; miss MIAA Tourney


The Missouri Western Men's basketball team ended their season in defeat by losing to the Missouri Southern Lions by the score of 87-80.

Before the game the Griffons saluted the seniors on the team. The three seniors that were honored were Kyle Kirschner, Jay McFarland and Keion Kindred as they played their last home game. The Griffons were led in scoring by Reggie Bunch. Bunch had a big night as he scored a career high 38 points, to go along with 16 rebounds. It was his ninth double-double of the season. The only other Griffon in double figures was McFarland who added 14 points.

The Griffons ended this season on a six game losing streak. They failed to reach the conference tournament for the second straight year. They ended their season with a 9-18 record and dead last in the MIAA with a 3-15 conference record. The Griffons will look for better success next season and hopefully end the drought of missing the conference tournament.
