MBB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

I went to the front page of D3hoops.com looked on the right sidebar and clicked on the "A".  One "A" was Murvul, the other 'Saps!

Great game!

With Ralph posting the game, he's almost keeping up with the Majors' radio broadcast!  Good stuff. This game has been every bit what was advertised. Go Majors.

Some good teams have taken it on the chin tonight.  Centre's nemesis from last season, Wooster lost a tough game to Wash U by 5. The very long Guilford Quakers were upset by St. Mary's by 12 at Greensboro. Proven, tough teams like these make you realize how hard it is to advance in the NCAA3.

[pbrooks3]

Just a quick thank you to Dave McHugh for hanging in there at Centre tonight.  Posting for us in lieu of providing audio clearly wasn't as good as his normally strong call, but the postings did allow us to keep up with the game, particularly during the 2nd half.

The SCAC had a good night going 2-0. 

Centre 75 Franklin 61
Millsaps 80 Maryville 72

For you Maryville fan who said the Scots would dominate the Millsaps regional, Majors 80, Scots 72.  Montgomery dominates again... 20 points in the second half to finish with 28 total.

Congrats to Millsaps.  Scots were 4 for 24 from 3 pointland and cannot win like that.  Montgomery must be as good as y'all say.  Good luck!!!
