East Point, Ga. (Jan. 21, 2012) --- The Milligan College men's basketball team came up short on the road as they fell 87-68 to AAC newcomer Point University on Saturday afternoon in East Point, Ga. The Buffaloes were without head coach Bill Robinson who is attending the funeral of his father.
 
   In the first half, neither team was able to gain any separation from the other as the game was tied at 39 at the break. However, Point was able to capitalize in getting to the rim in the second half to pull away from the Buffaloes despite a hard fought effort from Milligan.
 
   Tyler DeVault (Kingsport, Tenn.) recorded 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Torian Sitton (Hendersonville, N.C.) had 14 points and nine rebounds. Freshman Mickey Woods (Port Arthur, Tex.) had nine points. Kyle Grisby (Charlotte, N.C.) ended the game with eight points.
 
   With the loss, Milligan falls to 3-5 in AAC play and 6-15 overall.
 
   The Buffaloes return to action on Wednesday, Jan. 25, as they travel to AAC foe Virginia Intermont. Game time in Bristol, Va., is slated for 7:30 p.m.
