JACKSON - Junior forward Rodney Rogan scored a season-high 21 points and junior guard Allen Odum shut down the league's top scorer in Joey Garcia, to help lead Millsaps to a 77-69 win over the visiting Sewanee Tigers Sunday afternoon in the Hangar Dome.

In a battle of the SCAC's top two teams at 3-1 in conference play, Millsaps prevailed by outrebounding Sewanee 37-23, holding the Tigers to 6-of-20 from beyond the arc and limiting the league's top scorer (Garcia, 18.4 ppg) to only 11 points.

Millsaps (9-6, 4-1 SCAC) held a 28-26 halftime lead thanks in part to 50 percent shooting from 3-point land, including a pair from freshman Blake Martinez in nine minutes off the bench.

With the game knotted at 40-40 at the 14:47 mark in the second half, Lorenzo Bailey hit a layup to put the Majors on top 42-40 – a lead they never surrendered.

The five starters for Millsaps came up huge in the second half, as Bailey scored all of his 14 points, Rogan scored 12 of his 21, Edrick Montgomery scored 10 of his 12, Friday's hero Chris Sanders scored all six of his points and Odum dished out five of his game and season-high seven assists.

As a team, the Majors shot a combined 59 percent from the floor and poured in a season-high 49 points in the second half en route to the 77-69 victory.

Sewanee (3-10, 3-2 SCAC) was led by senior guard Spencer Rowland with a game-high 22 points, while Garcia (11) and Chris Eddy (10) were the other Tigers in double figures.

For Millsaps, Rogan led the way with 21 points and six boards, with Bailey chipping in 14 and Montgomery adding 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Majors also got a nice contribution off the bench with Deonte Oscar chipping in four points and six rebounds in 15 minutes, Martinez adding seven and Cameron Varnado, Russell Booth and Chris Ingle combining for seven rebounds and three assists.

Millsaps will hit the road for its next two contests, traveling to Austin College and Hendrix College Jan. 19-21, before returning home for a four-game homestand Jan. 26-Feb. 4.

Friday's contest with Centre College on Jan. 26 in the Hangar Dome is slated for “Take A Kid to the Game Day” where all area youth are invited to attend.
