Colonels come up big on Senior Day with 71-56 win over Millsaps

<strong>DANVILLE, Ky. –</strong> Centre men's basketball celebrated its seniors on Sunday afternoon as the Colonels welcomed the Millsaps Majors to Alumni Gym. Behind a strong effort from the class of 24, the Colonels got the win by a score of 71-56.<br />  <br /> <strong>GAME HIGHLIGHTS</strong><br />  <br /> - All five Centre seniors got the starting nod today and the Colonels jumped out to an early lead thanks to three consecutive three-pointers from Carter Baughman.<br /> - The Centre defense played well in the first half, limiting the Majors to 30 percent shooting. This allowed the Colonels to stay on top for the rest of the half.<br /> - With three seconds left, Baughman was fouled in the act of shooting a three and made all of his free throw attempts, giving the Colonels a 32-20 lead at the break.<br /> - The teams played evenly for most of the second half, but every time the Majors threatened with a run, Centre had an answer. Jaxson Banks connected from long range to put Centre up by 15.<br /> - After Millsaps got it back to single digits, Izayiah Villafuerte buried a three from the corner and Carson Wooldridge scored off a nifty feed by Caleb Maul to make it 47-34.<br /> - Chez Moore and Noah Ring each scored while getting fouled to keep the Majors at bay midway through the half. Baughman and Banks each drilled rally-killing threes down the stretch to give the Colonels a cushion at the end.<br />  <br /> <strong>INSIDE THE BOX SCORE</strong><br />  <br /> - Baughman led all players with a season high 25 points, including 17 in the first half. He made six of Centre's ten shots from three-point range.<br /> - Moore finished with 21 points and led the Colonels with nine rebounds.<br /> - Centre enjoyed one of its strongest team defensive performances of the year, holding Millsaps to 32 percent shooting from the field (21-65) and 26 percent from distance.<br />  <br /> <strong>NEXT UP</strong><br />  <br /> The Colonels will head back on the road for the final time this regular season next week as they head to Georgia to face Berry and Oglethorpe.
