Former Davidson Wildcat Stephen Curry is still recovering from an ankle injury and that is leading to more time on the bench, The San Francisco Chronicle reports.  The ankle and early foul trouble kept Curry on the sidelines more than half the game Monday as his Golden State Warriors defeated the New Jersey Nets, 109-100. But Curry had a big fourth quarter, scoring eight of his 13 points including a key 3-pointer with 1:57 left. Read the full story

But that’s as close as the Cats got, as Wofford hit three free throws to finish out the win.

With less than a second left on the game clock, Chattanooga’s Bailey Dewart buried a game-winning three-pointer to lead the Mocs over Davidson, 54-51, Friday night in a women’s basketball game at Belk Arena.

It was the Cats’ third defeat in Southern Conference play by three points or less as they fell to 1-5 in the SoCon and 5-9 overall. Davidson earlier this season fell at Elon, 61-60, and then to UNCG at home, 59-58.

Chattanooga, winners of five of their last six games, improved to 8-9 overall and 5-3 in league play.

With six seconds left, Chattanooga called a timeout to set up its last play. After the timeout, the Mocs passed the ball around until Bailey Dewart got it at the top of the circle. From there, she dribbled off a screen at the top of the key, stopped and fired a shot just outside the arc that fell through at the buzzer to give the Mocs the three-point win. Read the full story
