Postgame radio interview with head coach Brian Burg

DAVIDSON, N.C. – Carter Collins scored a career-high 23 points, and Davidson nailed a season-high 17 3-pointers on its way to a 77-45 men's basketball victory over Georgia Southern Friday night in Belk Arena.

Eagles of the Game 
Zack Bryant, making his Georgia Southern debut, scored his 1,000th career point on a pair of free throws with 12:39 left in the contest. A mid-year transfer from UAB last season, Bryant finished the contest with a team-high 16 points and added two assists and two steals. 

Key Moments
After a layup by Grant Weatherford cut the Davidson lead to 22-14 with 7:23 left in the first half, the Wildcats (3-2) finished the frame with a 16-4 run to go ahead 38-18 at the break. Collins hit one of his seven 3-pointers on the night during the run, and Hyunjung Lee made three straight triples. The margin grew to as many as 36 points at 77-41 on a Sam Mennenga layup with 3:32 to go in the contest.

Key Stats
Davidson finished the night 17 of 33 from 3-point range (52 percent) and 29 of 55 from the field (53 percent). The Eagles (3-1) shot 40 percent from the floor and made 2 of 13 from long distance.
