DAVIDSON — Howard used an 8-0 second-half run to hold off a late Davidson push and earned a 64-58 win over the Wildcats in Belk Arena Saturday night.
It's the first loss of the year for the Wildcats, who fell to 3-1.
Howard (3-2) led most of the way, but Davidson pulled ahead 51-50 with 7:06 to play following eight straight points from Sam Brown. But after multiple Wildcat go-ahead shots missed the mark, the Bison responded with their own 8-0 run to regain the lead for good. The one-point lead was Davidson's only of the night.
Howard utilized a 12-3 spurt in the first half, following an 11-11 tie, to lead 36-30 at the break.
Nick Janowski led Davidson with 15 points, while fellow guard Eetu Heinonen had his best game to date, scoring 13 off the bench. Brown finished with 11 points, and Josh Scovens had eight points to go with 11 boards.
Forward James Brown, a North Carolina transfer, led the Bison with 16 points and 13 rebounds, while Cedric Taylor III had 16 points and 10 boards.
Up Next
The Wildcats will host rival Charlotte Tuesday in the annual Battle for the Hornets' Nest Trophy.
