In a closely contested matchup at the Shriners Children's Charleston Classic, the Davidson Wildcats secured a 59-49 victory over Boston College on Friday. The win marked a significant milestone for the Wildcats, who are now off to their best start since the 2015-16 season. The Wildcats, led by Josh Scovens' season-high 12 points, dominated the game's final stretch, outscoring the Eagles 28-18 in the second half. Despite a strong performance from Boston College's Donald Hand Jr., who scored the Eagles' last six points in a late surge, the Wildcats managed to maintain their lead. Davidson's Devin Brown played a crucial role in the team's success, scoring nine points and contributing to a 7-0 Wildcats' spurt that gave them a 51-41 advantage with 7:42 left in the game. The Wildcats' bench also made a significant impact, outscoring the Eagles 33-5 in bench points. The Eagles struggled from beyond the arc, making just 3 of 21 three-point attempts, and from the free-throw line, where they converted only 8 of 14 attempts. Boston College's Jayden Hastings and Fred Payne added 11 and 10 points, respectively, but it was not enough to overcome the Wildcats' strong performance. The win sets up a championship game showdown for the Wildcats against Utah State on Sunday.
