BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Reed Bailey (24), Connor Kochera (23) and Bobby Durkin (20) each hit the 20-point plateau as Davidson held off Bowling Green, 91-85, in non-conference men's basketball action Friday at the Stroh Center.

The 'Cats improve to 2-0, while the Falcons have dropped their first two games of the 2024-25 season.

Its been nine years since three Wildcats scored at least 20 points in a contest – Jack Gibbs (37), Brian Sullivan (22) and Jordan Barham (22) vs. Eastern Washington, 12/9/15.

Along with matching his career-high, Bailey converted 10 of his 13 free throws and grabbed a team-best 8 boards. Durkin's scoring total was also a personal best.

Freshman Roberts Blums also finished in double figures for Davidson with 11 points in 23 minutes off the bench.

Javonte Campbell led Bowling Green with 30 points on 10-of-13 shooting.

Sparked by five straight points from Durkin, who had 16 in the opening half, the Wildcats raced out to a 19-6 advantage. In addition to shooting 53.3 percent, including seven treys, Davidson led by as many as 20 in the period before going to the locker room up, 47-31.

Bowling Green, which started the second half with an 11-2 run highlighted by three 3-pointers, would slowly chip away and eventually make it a one possession game, 86-83, with 30 ticks left.

Davidson finished 23-of-28 from the charity stripe, including 5-of-6 down the stretch to halt the Falcons' comeback.

Both teams shot 47 percent on the night and hit 10 3-pointers each.
