The men’s and women’s basketball team couldn’t find the right formula to win on their recent road trips as they both went 0-2.
The men fell in their first game 67-54 against Pittsburg State. The Griffons were as close as 41-40 with 12:42 left in the contest, but the Griffons couldn’t overtake the Gorillas.
The women didn’t fair much better against the Gorillas as they lost their game 73-65. The Griffons jumped out to a early 20-9 lead, but the couldn’t keep the momentum rolling for the whole game. The Griffons were led in scoring by senior Chemia Woods who had a career high, 21 points in the game. Jill Johnson and Yanique Javois were also in double figures as they each added 12 points.
The men struggled again offensively as they lost 65-52 against Fort Hays State, setting a new season low for points. The Griffons were led in scoring in the game by senior Jay McFarland as he had 15 points in the game. No other Griffons were in double figures, but Kyle Kirschner had a season high nine points.
The women came close to ending their losing streak, but couldn’t quite get it done as they fell to Fort Hays State by the score of 81-79. The game featured 11 ties and 16 lead changes. A put back by Meshia Mason with one second left broke the tie and ultimately won the game for the Tigers. The Griffons losing streak has now reached 11 games.
Both teams are now in danger of missing the conference tournament. The women’s team currently stands at 9-13 (4-10) and is currently in a three way tie for the last conference tournament spot. The men’s team currently stands at 9-14 (3-11) and are currently three games out of a conference tournament spot.
