JACKSON – Freshman Jeff Mullaney scored all three of his 3-pointers in the second half, including one with 0.3 seconds left in regulation that bounced off the front of the rim and banked in, as visiting Centre College overcame a 7-point halftime deficit to top Millsaps 59-56 on Sunday afternoon in the Hangar Dome.

Centre (14-3, 7-1 SCAC) outscored the Majors by 10 in the second half after trailing 28-21 at the break, shooting 56 percent from the floor.  After going 0-for-12 in the opening half from beyond the arc, the Colonels connected on 8-of-18 3-pointers in the second half, including four from T.C. Thomason, three from Mullaney and one from Kris Bentley.

Millsaps (5-13, 2-7 SCAC) took its largest lead of the game, 31-21, in the opening minute of the second half but had to rally from eight points down with 7 minutes to play to get back in the game.

A 10-2 run for the Majors over the game's final 6:49 brought the game to 56-56 with 9.0 seconds left, as \#Blake Martinez\#'s off balance 3-pointer from the right wing rattled in.

On the Colonels ensuing possession, they were able to roll the ball all the way to midcourt before the clock started and then setup what looked to be a designed play to the frosh Mullaney who banked it in from the top of the key with 0.3 seconds left for the come-from-behind win.

Centre was led by Thomason with 21 points (15 in the second half) and eight rebounds, followed by Mullaney with nine and Danny Noll and Ross Herman with seven apiece.  Millsaps had four scorers in double figures, led by \#Chris Ingle\# who tied a career-high with 15 points, Martinez with 12, \#Cameron Varnado\# with 11 and \#Chris Sanders\# with 10 points and 11 boards.

Millsaps will play its next four games on the road, beginning with a Jan. 30 game at SCAC provisional member Birmingham-Southern.  Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. CST.
