Box Score The Spring Hill College (SHC) men's basketball team ended the 2016-17 season with a 64-60 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) West Division victory over the Lane College Dragons at the Arthur R. Outlaw Recreation Center on Thursday night.
 
The Dragons (16-10, 13-4 SIAC West) held a 29-26 edge at halftime, but SHC would grab a 30-29 lead at the 17:39 mark in the 2^nd half when junior Walter Massey connected with a jumper. Lane fought back to build a 45-37 bulge with 11:17 left on the clock, but the Badgers began to whittle away at the deficit to trail by just 1 point at 49-48 after a Jack Morrissey 3-pointer at 7:43. A foul by Lane on the play under the basket also put senior Christopher Hamilton at the line who drained 1-of-2 free throws to hand the lead back to the Badgers.
 
Lane put the pieces together to retake a 58-51 lead by the 5:30 mark, but once again SHC found the answers with a layup followed by a free throw from freshman William Loyd to put the Badgers back on top 60-58 with just one minute remaining. With Spring Hill leading 61-60 and 13 seconds showing, freshman Gresyn Rogers made both ends of a two-shot trip to the free throw line. Lane's final 3-point shot from the right side at 6 seconds found nothing but the side of the backboard as Morrissey sank a game-icing free throw with less than two seconds left to close out the victory.
 
Massey finished with game-high 31 points and 14 rebounds while Loyd scored 16 points. The Badgers shot 41.7% (20-48) overall in the game and 7.1% (1-14) from 3-point distance, but lost the rebounding war 43-36 under the boards and suffered 17 turnovers to 10 steals by Lane.
 
Lane shot 36.9% (24-65) from the field and 12.5% (2-16) from 3-point range while fumbling away 16 turnovers to five steals by the Badgers. Devontay Clark scored 16 points and Terrance Bridgeman added 14 points for the visitors from Jackson, Tenn.
 
The Badgers finished the season at 10-18 overall and 9-8 in SIAC West while Lane waits to discover their opponent in the opening round of the SIAC Championship Tournament.
