JACKSON -- Millsaps scored 22 second half points off 12 Tiger turnovers and shot a season-best 65.2 percent to open up a 29-29 tie at halftime into a 16-point win, 78-62, over Colorado College in the Hangar Dome on Sunday afternoon.

Four Majors and four Tigers scored in double figures in the game, with Lance Jacobs leading CC with 17 and \#Blake Martinez\# leading Millsaps with 17.  Both players scored 14 apiece in the second half alone.  Brady Ohlsen had the game's lone double-double, scoring 16 points in addition to 11 boards.

Millsaps opened the game on a 10-0 run and led 19-9 with 10:44 remaining before CC put together its best run of the game, a 17-4 spurt, to take their first lead at 26-23 with 1:53 left in the half.  Freshman \#John Love\# knocked down a 3-pointer on the Majors' next possession to tie the game at 26-26, his first career points, and the team's traded the final points to go into the break at 29-29.

Back-to-back layup's from Ohlsen to open the second half gave CC its largest lead of the game, 33-29, which they held onto for the ensuing 6:35 after hitting five of their first eight shots in the half.  Millsaps, however, retook the lead for good, 44-43, less than a minute later after \#Chris Sanders\#' layup started an 8-0 run.

Millsaps extended its lead out to double digits at the 6:45 mark, 59-49, and allowed the Tigers to get within single digits just three times the rest of the way in pulling away with a 16-point victory.

Martinez, Sanders and \#Chad Songy\# took over in the second half, combining for 36 of the Majors' 49 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the floor (5-of-9 from 3-point range).  The trio also picked up nine assists against just two turnovers. 

The win for Millsaps snapped a four-game losing streak, both overall and in SCAC play, and gave them their first win in league play (3-10 overall, 1-4 SCAC) after three-straight losses by five points or less.  CC dropped to 2-11 overall and 1-4 in SCAC play.

Millsaps will close out a 3-game homestand on Tuesday, when the University of Dallas comes to town.  Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. and can be seen on www.atwsportscast.com.
