Davidson still did not shoot the ball particularly well, shooting just over 40% from the field and 16.7% from three point range. So how did they win the game?
The Wildcats shot twelve threes out their 57 shots. They figured out that they should not shoot the three when they are not falling. It took them a couple of games, but they finally figured out how to get shots inside, even if they are not hitting threes.
Furman only shot 34% from the field. Charlie Reddick was the only Paladin to score in double figures, with thirteen points. Brandon Sebirumbi scored eight points, and was the second leading scorer. That's not good. Sebirumbi also collected eight rebounds.
De'Mon Brooks poured in nineteen points and Jake Cohen collected eight rebounds as well.
Furman is not a great offensive team. It showed up again in this one. The Paladins simply do not have the ability to score enough points to be able to win a bunch of games in the SoCon Tournament. They have great defensive ability, which is nice, but without the offensive punch, they just can't be expected to win.
Davidson, on the other hand, has righted the ship from their loss to Samford. They will take on Chattanooga Saturday night at home. Davidson has a two game lead on Wofford for the division lead. That's huge at this point. A win next week against Wofford would virtually put the division away, since they already beat the Terriers once. Davidson looked much better, but they need to keep on rolling when they come home. Davidson is on the very fringe of the bubble discussion. This performance certainly kept them there.
