Wildcats Run SoCon Streak to 40
1/28/2009 9:37:55 PM | Men's Basketball
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Stephen Curry tallied 32 points and eight assists to lead Davidson to a 92-70 SoCon victory over Chattanooga Wednesday night in front of a crowd of 9,234 at McKenzie Arena. It was Davidson's 40th consecutive regular-season conference victory.
Curry hit 5 3-pointers, including a 75-footer to beat the buzzer at the end of the first half. The junior also posted five rebounds and three steals.
Andrew Lovedale added 17 points and 12 rebounds on 8-of-12 shooting, and Ben Allison scored 12 points off the bench for the Wildcats (17-3, 10-0 SoCon). Bryant Barr scored nine, and Will Archambault added eight.
Stephen McDowell led the Mocs (9-12, 5-5 SoCon) with 17 points, and Nicchaeus Doaks collected 15 points and 10 rebounds.
Curry's buzzer-beater came at an opportune moment for the Wildcats. Chattanooga had whittled an 18-point deficit down to 10 and had the ball with 25.5 seconds left and a chance for the last shot of the half.
Doaks missed a layup with four seconds left, and Lovedale got the rebound. He handed the ball off, and Curry took one dribble, let it fly and hit nothing but net.
The shot sparked a 13-3 run as Davidson started the second frame with a 10-2 spurt to open a 51-31 lead on an Archambault layup 4:15 into the stanza.
The lead stayed in double digits for the rest of the game, but Chattanooga worked the margin down to 15 on a pair of Doaks free throws with 9:48 to go. Davidson responded with a 16-6 run that Curry capped with a conventional 3-point play, making the score 81-56 with 5:02 left.
Davidson returns to action on the road Saturday when the Wildcats travel to Samford for a 3 p.m. (EST) contest. The game will be televised live on SportsSouth.
NOTES: Davidson held Chattanooga to 38.9 percent shooting from the field; it's the 12th time this season the Wildcats have held their opponent under 40 percent… Curry reached the 30-point mark for the 11th time this season, tying his own school record he set last season... The Wildcats have won seven in a row.
