San Antonio, Texas – Despite 23 points from junior guard Taylor Meades, the Millsaps Majors Men's Basketball Team went the final 5:08 without a field goal as they fell to the Trinity Tigers on Sunday afternoon. With the loss, the Majors fall to 8-11 overall and 3-8 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
 
Both teams went back and forth at each other in the first half, as both teams held a lead no bigger then five. Meades was terrific in the first half as he went for 16 of the Majors 28 points in the first half.
 
The second half was no different as the two teams went back and forth with great defensive effort. At the 11:49, with the game tied at 39, junior Tim White buried a three to put Millsaps up three.
 
After a basket by Zach Lambert, the Majors responded with a layup from sophomore Tully Gilligan to take a 44-41 lead. Both teams exchanged two free throws before senior Jeff Brown hit a three to put the Majors up 49-43 with 6:28 remaining.
 
Trinity responded with five straight points to cut the deficit down to one before Meades extended the lead back to three after a layup. It would be the last point Millsaps would score as the Tigers finished things off on an 11-0 to take the win. The last five of Trinity's points came in the final 12 seconds to put the Majors away.
 
Meades was terrific as he finished with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting and 5-of-8 shooting from behind the arch. The rest of the team struggled as they only shot 10-of-38 from the field. White was the next highest scorer with six.
 
The Majors return to action this Friday at The Hangar Dome with a tough task as they welcome in No. 12 Birmingham-Southern. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. following the women's game.
