It was only fitting for CJ Davis to score his 1,000^th career point off a shot from long range, and he did just that with 5:15 to go in the first half. However, that was the brightest point in the night as the Mavericks fell to the Grizzlies 96-83 in the team's second to last home game of the season.
 
Colorado Mesa University opened up the first half on a role, building an 11-2 lead in the first four minutes of action. Adams State University (ASU) was not looking for a repeat performance from earlier in the season though, and they fought their way back into the game to take the lead four minutes later (16-15).
 
From that moment on the Mavericks would bring the game into a tie on two occasions, but never was able to regain the lead from the Grizzlies. They entered the half down three (42-39), but the second half was ASU's from start to finish. They lead by as many as 16 points in the second half to ultimately win the game by 13.
 
Despite both teams shooting 48 percent from the field, and the Mavericks finishing with more free throws attempted, it was the three-point line that burned CMU on Friday night. While the Mavericks finished with five makes, the Grizzlies had 11 made shots from deep.
 
Bench scoring was another key in this game as the Grizzlies finished with 39 points off the bench compared to CMU's 13.
 
Davis finished his big night going 5-8 from the field for 15 points and three assists. Connor Nichols was CMU's leading scorer with 23 points and also contributed a team high seven boards. Emilio Acedo and Damon Dubots also finished in double figures with 14 and 12 respectively.
 
CMU now sits at 11-13 on the year and 7-11 in the conference. Tomorrow will be the final home game of the year for the Mavericks, and they will be taking on No. 14 Fort Lewis. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
