The men’s basketball team finished the regular season strong to make the MIAA tournament on a tie-breaker as the No. 12 seed. Unfortunately, there was no underdog run for the Griffons who saw their season end in the first round of the tournament with a loss at No. 5-seed Central Missouri. The Griffons ended with an overall record of 6-21 and a 4-15 record in the MIAA. After five years as head coach, Brett Weiberg resigned following the season.

In the same game, the senior guard became Missouri Western’s 15th member of the 1,000-point club. Guard Lavon Hightower was named honorable mention All-MIAA.
