Furman at Wofford (DNP), January 24, 2011

The Paladins (15-5, 7-2) scored the first seven points of the overtime period to earn a 73-68 OT road win over the Terriers (10-10, 7-2) in a battle for second place in the South Division of the Southern Conference. Even with second-leading scorer Jordan Miller at home in Greenville with the flu (later diagnosed as pneumonia), Furman powered out to a 27-18 first-half lead that Wofford cut to 37-33 at halftime. The Paladins pushed the lead back out to nine again early in the second half before the Terriers went on an 11-0 run to take the lead with seven minutes remaining. Furman fought back to tie the game 62-62 at the end of regulation on two free throws by Noah States. The Paladins went 7 of 8 from the free-throw line in overtime to win at Wofford for the first time since 2006. Furman has yet to lose this season when holding an opponent under 70 points.
