JACKSON – Three Wesley College players scored in double figures, led by Curtis Baily with a game-high 16, as the visiting Warriors snapped host Millsaps' 17-game home winning streak dating back to Feb. 17, 2007, in a 59-52 victory on Friday night.
Millsaps (0-4) took a 4-point lead into the break, 29-25, behind just 30 percent shooting, before the visiting Warriors opened the second half on a 15-2 run to take their largest lead of the game at 40-31 with just under 12 minutes to play.
Back-to-back buckets from junior Cameron Varnado and a layup from Ben Cooper started a 7-0 spurt for the Majors over 1:40 and got them to within two at 40-38, however Millsaps could not get the go-ahead basket when they needed it, getting within 1-point twice.
Wesley (4-6) pushed the lead back out to five minutes later off a Baily jumper and then knocked down important free throws down the stretch to hold on for the 7-point win.
Senior Russell Booth was the lone Major in double figures on the night, scoring a career-high 15 points in addition to nine rebounds and a pair of blocks, while both Varnado and Blake Martinez added eight points apiece.
Millsaps will continue a 5-game homestand on Sunday with a 3 p.m. tipoff against Rust. That game, as well as all home basketball games, can be seen live on the internet by visiting the Millsaps main page and clicking on the ATWSportscast logo.
