Terriers challenge Wildcats in loss

DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Davidson basketball coach Bob McKillop wiped his brow and let out a sigh of relief as he walked slowly from the court. It's been a while since he had to sweat one out like that.

The Wildcats, having already clinched a division title and closing in on the No. 1 overall seed for the upcoming Southern Conference tournament, got quite a scare Monday night from Wofford before pulling out an 80-73 victory at Belk Arena.

On its current seven-game winning streak, Davidson (24-4, 15-1) has blown out opponents by an average 20.4 points. Three of those were by at least 30, and once the Wildcats led by more than 50.

DAVIDSON - Wofford wouldn't go away, and Davidson had trouble finding the knock-out punch it needed Monday at Belk Arena.

But the Wildcats (24-4, 15-1 Southern) pulled out the victory 80-73 and won for the eighth straight time and 20th in 21 games.

They also set a school record for victories in the regular season, breaking the mark of 23 set in the 1995-96 season.

With two regular-season games left, the conference tournament and a possible NCAA or National Invitation Tournament bid, the overall mark of 27 victories, set in 1968-69, might be broken as well.
