DAVIDSON, N.C. – De'Mon Brooks (15 pts, 10 rebs) and Jake Cohen (12 pts, 11 rebs) each recorded double-doubles to lead Davidson to its 11th straight victory, a 73-36 win over Furman in Southern Conference men's basketball action Wednesday at John M. Belk Arena.

With tonight's triumph, the Wildcats have posted 20 wins under head coach Bob McKillop 11 times, including seven of the last nine seasons. Davidson (20-7, 15-1 SoCon) has reached the 20-win plateau 20 times in school history.

It also marks the seventh time McKillop has guided the Wildcats to 11 consecutive wins or more.

Brooks and Cohen's effort on the glass led Davidson to a 45-26 rebounding margin.

The Wildcats shot 50 percent in the second half to finish the contest at 44.3 percent (27-61), while holding Furman (6-20, 3-12 SoCon) to 25 percent (11-44). Davidson, the nation's top free throw shooting team, concluded the contest 11-of-13 from the stripe.

Larry Wideman was the lone Paladin in double figures with a game-high 18 points.

In addition to scoring the first 10 points of the contest, Davidson closed the first half on a 25-3 run to take a 39-12 lead into the break. The Wildcats didn't allow a field goal the final 12 minutes of the opening period, while holding the Paladins to just 18.2 percent (4-22).
