Furman 58 Western Carolina 55

Cullowhee, NC. Furman's Charlie Reddick was 0 for 11 for the game when Coach Jeff Jackson drew up an inbounds play for Reddick as the go-to option, and he drained a 23-foot three-pointer with 1.8 seconds left for the win.

Playing without starting point-guard Richard Brown (back spasms), the Paladins (8-9, 2-4) built and then squandered a 13-point halftime lead over the Catamounts (8-10, 3-3) before hanging on for their third road win of the season and their first win in Cullowhee since 2004.

Senior Brandon Sebirumbi led Furman in scoring with 19 points. Freshman Jordan Loyd, filling in for Brown, contributed 10 points.

Update. Graham continues to participate in non-contact drills as he waits for Furman's Sports Medicine to clear him to return to contact. (Remember when basketball was a "non-contact sport"?)
