Postgame Interview
STATESBORO, Ga. – Sophomore Brian Sullivan scored 25 points and Davidson shot 55.4 percent, including 11 triples, as the Wildcats ran their winning streak to eight straight with an 88-73 win over Georgia Southern Saturday afternoon at Hanner Fieldhouse.
Sullivan, who hit the 20-point plateau for the sixth time this season, finished 10-of-15 from the floor, including five 3-pointers in 36 minutes. Tom Droney added 14 points, De'Mon Brooks had 13 and Chris Czerapowicz scored 11 to go along with a game-high eight rebounds for Davidson.
The Eagles' Jelani Hewitt led all players with 32 points, including 21 after intermission, while going 11-of-17 from the field and making six buckets from long range. Brian Holmes and Tre Bussey also contributed double figures for Georgia Southern (11-16, 4-8 SoCon) with 11 and 10, respectively.
After Hewitt reeled off eight straight to cut the Eagles' deficit to 49-44, Sullivan and Jack Gibbs answered with consecutive treys for Davidson (15-11, 11-1 SoCon), which eventually stretched its lead to as many as 19, 87-68, with 11 points unanswered.
In addition to hitting 10 or more 3-pointers in three straight contests, the Wildcats finished with a 33-29 edge on the glass, while committing just seven turnovers.
Along with making its last 10 shots of the period, Davidson closed the first half on a 12-3 spurt capped off by a Droney layup at the buzzer to take a 45-32 advantage into the break.
Georgia Southern finished at 50 percent overall and from behind the arc, but made just 15-of-25 at the charity stripe.
Davidson will conclude its brief road swing with a 7:05 p.m. tip at The Citadel Monday evening in Charleston.
GAME NOTES: Davidson has won 24 of its last 25 conference games and 31 of 33 dating back to 2011-12… The 'Cats extended their Southern Conference road winning streak to 12… With the win, Davidson clinched a first-round bye in the SoCon Tournament.
