The game, another of the increasingly typical battles the Majors have partaken in throughout the season, began with an early Majors lead. After scoring on a Tyler Warren lay-up followed by an Edrick Montgomery jump shot to begin the game, the Majors built an eight point lead by the 12:43 point in the first half. Centre, however, continued to play strong, shooting close to 90 percent from the free throw line. With the help of the free throws, the Colonels took a one-point advantage, their first lead of the game, with close to seven minutes left in the half.

Millsaps was able to reclaim the lead, though, going into their locker room at the half, with a 31-27 Major advantage in the game.

Centre was reenergized to begin the second, taking the Majors by surprise and gaining the early advantage. The Majors’ halftime lead diminished as Centre built a seven-point advantage over the visiting Millsaps.

However, with a little more than seven minutes to play in the contest, the Majors took the momentum as Allen Odum stole the ball from Centre. The Majors followed the steal with successful free throw shots and shots from the field. Before Centre could respond, the score was tied at 50.

As the game pulled to a close, Millsaps senior Tyler Warren scored on two consecutive lay ups and three consecutive free throws, sealing the win for the Majors.

Millsaps shot only 35 percent for the game. Warren led the way in scoring with 17 total points and six rebounds. The Majors will next take on Sewanee on Feb. 5.
