MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The LaGrange College men's basketball team lost 99-85 to Millsaps College at the Huntingdon Classic in non-conference action on Saturday at Roland Arena in Montgomery, Alabama.
THE BASICS
Score: LaGrange 85, Millsaps 99
Records: Panthers 2-1, 0-0 CCS | Majors 2-0, 0-0 SAA
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Panthers trailed by one at the half but an early 8-0 run by the Majors saw them take a 71-58 lead. LaGrange would pull to within six off a pair of free throws by senior guard Micah McAllister (Newnan, Ga.) with 9:09 to go, but that would be as close as they would get as Millsaps pulled away down the stretch.

- Millsaps junior guard Davion James (Brandon, Miss.) led the Majors with 19 points, seven rebounds and four steals.
