Sherman, Texas – The Millsaps Majors Men's Basketball Team fell behind early and could not overcome a large deficit as they fell to the Austin College 'Roos on Friday evening, 68-47. With the loss, the Majors fall to 6-8 overall and 1-5 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
 
The Majors fell behind early after a three ball from Austin College to start the game and never could gain the lead as the 'Roos continued to pull away. The Majors biggest issue was turnovers as they committed 21 on the night.
 
Junior Nick Cortese led the Majors offensively with 11 points while junior Brian Merkel added eight. Defensively, sophomore Kyle Kinnear was impressive with 10 rebounds, three blocks, and two steals.
 
The Majors are back in action Sunday against the University of Dallas as they wrap up a seven game road trip. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m.
