BLUEFIELD - The Milligan University Buffaloes scored the final nine points of the game Monday night at the Dome and took a 78-69 AAC win.
The Buffaloes got the game's first points 90 seconds after the opening tip, but the Rams rallied and took a six point lead when Jermiah Jenkins sank a three with 14:48 to play in the opening half. Milligan tied the game at 10 and then opened a five-point lead midway through the first half.
Rob Littlejohn sank a pair of free throws with 6:23 on the clock to put BC back in the lead. Jenkins then converted on a fast break layup and Christian Bullock made a bucket to make it 24-19. Stanley Christian's coast-to-coast drive capped with a slam dunk gave the Rams their biggest lead at that point of the game, 26-19 with 4:34 showing on the clock.
Bluefield College controlled the remainder of the half and led 37-26 at the break.
BC opened its biggest lead of the game, 13 points, when Omega Stitt drilled a three with 18:20 to go. Milligan then began its comeback.
The Buffaloes cut the lead to seven with 14 minutes to play. It was three and later two points. The Buffs tied the game at 51 with 10:24 remaining and retook the lead with just over nine minutes left. For the next seven minutes the teams battled and Bluefield took its final lead, 66-65 on a Stitt trey with 3:40 to play.
