.
The first half was a back and forth battle. Neither team extended a large lead over the other. Both teams executed well on offense with Fisk shooting 50% and Millsaps shooting 46% in the first half. Both teams also shot 33% from the three point line and around 80% from the free throw line.

At halftime, Fisk College maintained a small lead over Millsaps with a score of 36-33.

To begin the second half, Fisk came out shooting, building their lead to a 43-33 advantage. Their cause was contributed to by turnovers by the Majors. In the first three and a half minutes of the half, Millsaps turned the ball over three times and missed five shots. This forced the team to catch up with Fisk.

The Majors wasted no time in this endeavor. With 12:08 to go in the game, Millsaps took their first lead of the half on an Edrick Montgomery lay-up giving the Majors the one point advantage, 48-47.

The rest of the game remained close, and with 17 seconds to go the score was tied at 68. After a timeout, Fisk College took the ball and scored, however, on a Chris Adams jumper with three seconds to go, giving the team the win.

Leading the way for the Majors in the loss was Rodney Rogan with 15 points and six rebounds. Tyler Warren also had 15 points and four rebounds.

Millsaps will have an opportunity to get back on track tomorrow as they face Wesley College at 3 p.m. in the Hanger Dome.
