Westminster did a lot of things good including utilizing their bench that scored 27 points. The Griffins post play was unstoppable with 38 points in the paint. Their largest lead on the Cougs was 14 points. Christian battled against Westminster, but came up short in the end.
 
CCU senior Brett Brady scored 22 points. Dimitri Saliba had 17 points and seven rebounds, Ty McGee 12 points and seven rebounds, and Jacob Taylor scored 10.  Leading the Cougs in assists was Jonathan Stevens with four.
