COLORADO SPRINGS - The Millsaps men's basketball team's season came to an end today with a 56-74 loss to Colorado College.

The Tigers (14-11, 10-6 SCAC) scored first and never looked back as the Majors (10-15, 4-12 SCAC) scored just 17 points in the first half on 32-percent shooting. The Tigers shot the lights out in the first half, going 15-of-28 from the floor and hitting as many threes, nine, as the Majors took in the frame.

After leading 40-17 at the break, Colorado coasted to the buzzer with the Majors getting no closer than 18 despite outscoring the TIgers 39-34 in the half. The Majors' shooting improved to 38-percent while the Tigers cooled to 31, but the game was already out of reach.

Nick Cortese was the Majors' offensive bright spot, scoring a season and game high 21 points with five rebounds. LV Sumler pulled in a game high eight rebounds to go with his eight points in his final game as a Major. The Tigers had four men in double figures, led by Jake Tramutolo's 15.

The Majors' loss coupled with Hendrix College's double-overtime win over Austin College means that the Majors will be in the stands for this weekend's SCAC Basketball Tournament, hosted by Millsaps. Full tournament brackets and information are available at this link.
