NEW YORK – Stephen Curry posted his fifth career double-double with 27 points and 10 assists, and Davidson held West Virginia to 33 percent shooting in a 68-65 victory in the Jimmy V Classic Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden.
Curry struggled from the field most of the night but had all 10 points in a decisive 10-4 Davidson run late in the game. The run came with Davidson trailing by two points with 2:57 to go and ended with a pair of Curry free throws that put the 'Cats ahead 66-62 with 18 seconds left.
Steve Rossiter got fouled after rebounding a West Virginia miss and hit 1-of-2 from the line. The Mountaineers wouldn't go quietly, and John Flowers made a long 3-pointer from the corner to make the margin 67-65 with 3.8 seconds left.
Davidson inbounded to Bryant Barr, who was fouled. The junior made 1-of-2 from the line, and Devin Ebanks missed a long-distance heave as the horn sounded.
Davidson's defense was stout all night, holding West Virginia to 38.5 percent in the first half en route to a 36-29 edge at the break, and the Mountaineers went 12-for-40 (30 percent) in the second frame.
West Virginia hung close because of a 58-32 rebound advantage, including 29-12 on the offensive end, which turned into 21 second-chance points.
Senior Andrew Lovedale finished with 15 points and five rebounds, and freshman Ben Allison contributed a career-high 10 points and five boards off the bench.
Da'Sean Butler had a career-high 24 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for West Virginia, while Ebanks had 13 points and 17 rebounds.
The Wildcats open conference action Saturday against Chattanooga. Game time is set for 7 p.m. in John M. Belk Arena.
