LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) — Karl Cochran scored 18 points and added 12 rebounds to help lead Wofford to a 65-62 victory over VMI on Saturday, extending its season-long winning streak to seven games.
Wofford (20-5, 11-1 Southern Conference) held a commanding 42-24 lead at the break. However VMI stormed back in the second half, highlighted by a 9-0 run in the final four minutes capped off by a Brian Brown 3 to tie the game at 60 with 1:15 to play. But the Terriers scored the next five points in the final minute to put VMI away.
Spencer Collins added 10 points for the Terriers, whose 20-5 record is their best start since the 1993-94 season.
The Terriers held VMI to 37.1 percent shooting and forced 15 Keydets turnovers. During its seven game streak, Wofford has held opponents to just 35 percent shooting.
