JACKSON – All 15 players dressed out for Millsaps
got in the scoring column and the trio of guards in Chad
Songy, Blake
Martinez and Lorenzo Bailey shot
a combined 9-of-15 from 3-point land to
pace the Majors from beyond the arc in a lopsided
103-67 win over Austin
College at the Hangar Dome on Sunday afternoon.
Millsaps (19-3, 10-2 SCAC West), who owns the top
assist/turnover ratio in the conference and fourth-best in the country,
picked up a season-high 30
assists on the day against just eight turnovers while also shooting
a blistering 60 percent from the floor as a team.
They knocked down 14 3-pointers on the afternoon to hit the double digit
mark in 3s made for the seventh time this season, while extending their
consecutive game streak with a 3-pointer made out to 422 games – the
third-longest active streak in all of Division III.
The Majors trailed a majority of the opening five minutes, down 14-11
at the 14:46 mark in the opening period, before throwing together a 14-5
run capped off by a layup from Chris Sanders to take a 25-19 lead.
From there, Millsaps never trailed the remainder of the contest and
turned what was a 10-point halftime lead, 46-36, into a 36-point win,
outscoring the 'Roos 57-31 in the second period on 62 percent shooting
from the floor and holding them to 0-for-10 from the arc.
Allen Odum tied
a career-high with eight assists against no turnovers, giving him 14
assists on the weekend and not a single turnover, while four Majors
reached double figures led by Edrick
Montgomery with 21, Rodney Rogan with
15, Bailey with 14 and Songy with 10.
