Jackson, MS - The Millsaps Women's Basketball Team was recently featured in a story on d3hoops.com.
The story, written by Brian Lester, features the recent road trip where the Majors played six consecutive games on the road in 14 days. The road trip spanned over 5,000 miles - starting with a trip to Las Vegas on Christmas Day for the d3hoops.com Classic. In all, the time away from the Hangar Dome was a great learning experience for the Majors - who finished the trip 3-0 including two conference wins.
Now at 8-7 (2-2), the Majors will look to build upon their experience as the season progresses with a pair of conference games this weekend. First up for Millsaps Basketball is a matchup against Sewanee on Friday, followed by a matchup against Centre on Sunday.
Friday's game against the Tigers is set to tip off at 6:00 pm for the Women's team, followed by an 8:00 pm start for the men's team. Sunday's matchups will begin at noon for women's basketball, then at 2:00 pm for men's.
With such a competitive conference (where four teams are currently tied in second place with a 2-2 conference record - including Millsaps), every game carries meaning and postseason implications for seeding and the potential to host the SAA Tournament.
The Majors will look to continue building off their recent holiday travels as they move further into conference play this weekend at home. A link to the story on d3hoops.com, which features quotes from Coach Winkleman,
