Furman 85 Jacksonville 79

Timmons Arena. The Paladins (5-4, 0-2) built a 16-point in the second half and hung on from there to defeat the Dolphins (2-6) and even the series between the two schools at 7-7.

Furman was led by Graham's roommate Richard Brown, Bobby Austin, and Charlie Reddick, each of whom contributed 16 points. Rich and Bobby combined to shoot 16-20 from the free-throw line, most of them coming in the final minutes of the game when the Paladins turned back a Dolphin surge that cut the lead to as few as three points.

Furman now hits the road for four games over the holiday break and returns to home action against the Citadel on January 5.

Injury Update. Graham reports that trainer Steve Hopkins clear him to return to full practice this week. Or maybe next.
