SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The Wofford men's basketball team dominated Carver College on Tuesday night, defeating the Cougars 94-35 at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium. Twelve Terriers scored in the victory as
Fletcher Mageee (18),
Cameron Jackson (11) and
Ryan Larson (11) each scored in double figures.
Wofford improves to 2-1 on the season, embarking on a two-game road trip this upcoming weekend. The Terriers travel to Stanford on Friday (10 p.m.) before going to Oklahoma on Sunday (2 p.m.).
"We played pretty darn well," said head coach
Mike Young. "I thought everyone battled."
Ball movement was key to the Wofford offense on Tuesday, totaling 21 assists as a team, led by point guard
Storm Murphy and reserve guard
Tray Hollowell, who dished out six and five assists, respectively.
"I thought Tray (Hollowell) impacted the game in multiple ways," said Young. "He took a couple quick shots early, but had a couple of nice assists, and then things opened up for him so he could get to the rim a little bit."
It was all Wofford from the start, with four different Terrier starters scoring in the first two and a half minutes of the game. The Terriers held Carver College scoreless for nearly eight minutes, stretching their lead to 32 points just a little past the midway point of the first half.
As a a team, Wofford shot 57.5% from the floor and 53.3% from 3-point range. Magee led the team with five 3-pointers in the game, while freshman
Ryan Larson went 3-for-4 from downtown coming off the bench.
The win matches Wofford's previous 59-point victory over Johnnon and Wales (104-45, Dec. 9, 2017) and marks the first time that Wofford has scored 90 or more points this season.
"We got to use a lot of different players and try some different things," Young said. "We're still looking for a full 40-minute game, but we'll take it and we look forward to getting on that plane and going out west."
