DAYTON, TN (January 4, 2007) --- The Milligan College men’s basketball team used a 15-4 run over the final four minutes to capture a 66-55 Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) win at Bryan (Tenn.) College Thursday night. With the win, the Buffaloes improve to 10-4 on the season and remain tied for second place in the conference with a 4-1 AAC record while Bryan falls to 1-4 in the AAC and 2-12 overall.

Leading the way for Milligan was sophomore Jeff Barnes (Franklin, Tenn.) with his 20 points and eight rebounds. Senior forward Adrian Harrison (Greensboro, N.C.) added 15 points and grabbed six rebounds while Serge Babo (Indianapolis, Ind.) blocked two shots to go with his seven rebounds in the win.

Milligan took a 29-24 lead to halftime only to see Bryan come back to tie the contest at 51 late in the second half. During the Buffs’ run at the end of the contest, Josh Terry (Jonesville, Va.) nailed a three pointer to spark the Buffs and Barnes and Tyler Estepp (Limestone, Tenn.) hit key free throws to ice the game to preserve the Buffs’ victory.
