MEMPHIS - The Rhodes College men's basketball team connected on 12 3-pointers and held Millsaps College to 29.6% shooting the second half to pull away from the Majors and take a 75-61 victory at home on Sunday afternoon.

Rhodes shot 24-for-57 (42.1%) from the field and 12-for-32 (37.5%) from downtown in the game. The biggest improvement was seen at the free throw line, where the Lynx went 15-for-17 (88.2%). After shooting over 50% in the first half, the Majors finished 23-for-55 (41.8%) from the field and 6-for-14 (42.9%) from deep. Rhodes was able to force 14 turnover while Millsaps forced 13. The Lynx also outrebounded the Majors, 35-34.

Junior Brennan Sullivan came out on fire, scoring the Lynx first nine point on back-to-back-to-back 3-pointers. However, Millsaps was equally hot behind the shooting of Marc Robinson and Robert Wade Mason. 

With the game tied at 18, Millsaps went on an 8-0 run to take an eight point lead 12 minutes into the first half. Rhodes responded almost immediately with back-to-back 3's from Sullivan and junior Daniel Galvin to cut the deficit to two. 

After the Majors pushed it back out to 29-24, Rhodes went on a 9-2 run to go back ahead 33-31. After Millsaps tied it up, junior JJ Weir connected on a three and gave the Lynx a 36-35 lead at the break.

Early in the second half, Millsaps would go ahead 39-38, but it would be the final time they would lead as Sullivan connected on his sixth 3-pointer of the game followed by jumpers from junior Tyler Gee and sophomore Keyshawn Butts capped a 7-0 run and pushed the Rhodes lead to 45-39.

Millsaps would quickly get it back to a two-point game and the two teams would battle back and forth where Rhodes still held a 53-51 advantage a little over halfway through the second half. The Lynx would then go on an 11-1 run to blow the game wide open thanks in part to excellent backcourt play from the likes of Sullivan, Lowrie, Butts, and Weir.

Rhodes pushed their lead to as much as 16 and would cruise the rest of the way to earn a big conference victory as they conclude their five game home stand.

Four Lynx scored in double figures led by Sullivan with 22 points including six 3-pointers. Lowrie added 14 points and a career-high seven assists while Gee earned his sixth double-double of the season with 11 points and 12 boards. Galvin pitched in 10 points while Weir added seven points off the bench. Butts had six assists and an impressive four steals as he kept Millsaps' leading scorer Quinn Atkinson in check. Freshman Daniel Darst added two blocks on the day.

For Millsaps, Robertson led all scorers with 25 points while Mason scored 10 and pulled down 10 boards off the bench.

Rhodes moves to 10-9 overall and 4-4 in SAA play. They will hit the road for the first time since January 10th as they visit the newly renovated blacktop for the first time at Oglethorpe University. First tip is set for 8 PM ET/7 PM CT.
