JACKSON, MS- The Majors were held to 22 percent shooting and their three-game winning streak was snapped in a 77-47 loss to former SCAC rival Austin College on Thursday afternoon. 

Mac McElveen had a game-high 13 points and Alex Gerchow  had a game-high nine rebounds for the Majors who dropped to 4-5 after the loss. 

The Majors started ice cold from the field Thursday as they missed their first eight shots from the field. Millsaps was held to a lone Dustin Aubert free throw for the game's first seven minutes as the Roos jumped out to a 15-1 lead. 

A Brennan Gagen three pointer looked to get the Majors going, but a tenacious Austin defense kept the Majors cold.  A 10-0 Austin run followed as they stretched the lead to as many as 22 in the half. A pair of McElveen three pointers closed the gap, but the Roos would lead 34-18 at the break. 

The Majors' struggles would continue into the second half, going the first seven minutes without a field goal once again. A McElveen three would end the drought but Austin led 50-28 with 12 minutes left and never looked back. 

Millsaps never found their rhythm on Thursday, as a balanced Austin effort was too much to overcome. The Roos put three in double figures but six had at least eight points on Thursday. Austin also owned the glass to the tune of a 49-30 advantage and a 34-6 edge on points in the paint. 

The Majors close the 2014 portion of the schedule at 4-5 on the season. They will next rematch with the Pensacola Christian Eagles as part of the Millsaps New Year's Classic. Millsaps will look to avenge a November 21st loss on January 2nd. Tip time from the Hangar Dome is set for 7pm.
