MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[pbrooks3]

Hendrix is 4 minutes away from its 10th win, leading 74-59. A sloppy half of basketball with lots of Warrior turnovers, but they've scored at will. Pursell fouled out with about 9 minutes to go.  Sewanee shot a decent percentage in the 1st 20 minutes, but has stunk up the gym in the 2nd half. Cal Rose and Andrew King are producing most of the points.

Jekelish, keep up the banter on Austin-Centre.

50-44, Centre leads with 6:48 left.

Sturtevant caught fire for the 'Roos and has 20, but every time they get it to two or three points the Colonels come up with a clutch basket and a stop to push the lead back up.

Hendrix wins 85-71
Rose scores 26; King 19.

[jekelish]

62-50 Centre leads...a three by Thomason and now it's about to be a four point play by Britt.  AC's been trying to hang in, but they just don't have nearly the same firepower as the Colonels.  Sturtevant and Alade have combined for 35 of their 50 points.  3:11 left.

[jekelish]

62-53, AC with the ball and no timeouts remaining, 1:51 on the clock.

[jekelish]

might have spoken too soon...

62-59 with 1:17 left, Sturtevant came up with the steal and on the break got taken down with an intentional foul, sank both free throws and now the 'Roos have the ball with a chance to cut it to one or tie things up.

[jekelish]

64-62 with 33.6 seconds left, Centre with possession...12 on the shot clock.

Centre got two free throws from Thomason to make it 64-59, but Kyle Lintelman of AC answered with a three to cut it to a two point game.

Any final score in Sherman yet?

[jekelish]

Centre holds on 68-62.  AC had it's chances, down 65-62 with the ball, but Alade was blocked and Centre knocked down 3-of-4 free throws down the stretch.

Thanks for the post on Austin-Centre.  Sounds like your Roos played their socks off.

Wondering how the OU-Millsaps game went - any word on it Frank?

[frank_ezelle]

Millsaps beats OU by a significant amount.  The lead was in the 20's midway through the first half and it kind of stayed in the 20's to 30's for the rest of the game.  Millsaps hit 16 of 27 3-pointers with Blake Martinez hitting 6 of 7 to lead Millsaps in scoring.  Final score 103-76 and the halftime score was 55-35.  

It was certainly one of the best games I've seen Millsaps play if not the best.  More info to come in a few minutes.

I checked the play-by-play and Millsaps had a 20 point lead before the game hit the 10:00 mark.  It was really a complete team effort and while the 3-point shooting was above the norm, they shot like this against Loyola also.  Tonight it was Blake who hit 6 of 7, but there are about 5 guys on the team who are capable of having a night like that.

I'll get back with just a little more in a few minutes.

Yea, I saw the box score - 16 of 27 from 3-point land!
Trinity beat Rhodes 77-64.
