GREENVILLE, SC – Tariq Simmons came off the bench for 16 points and Rahsaan Edwards added 11 points and three assists for visiting South Carolina State Monday, however the Bulldogs remained winless, losing 118-52 to Furman behind a three-point Paladin barrage.

SC State, which got a team-high six rebounds from Jemal Davis, fell to 0-10 with the loss.

The Bulldogs' shooting woes continued as Coach Murray Garvin's team connected on just 19-60 (38.5 pct.) attempts from the field and hit only 4-18 (22.2 pct.) from three-point range.

Furman, conversely, had one of its best shooting afternoons of the year, hitting on 42-60 field goal attempts for 70 percent accuracy and nailing 21-35 (60 pct.) from beyond the arc, tying a school record.

The Paladins had six players in double figures, led by Noah Gurley's 19 points. Colin Kenney came off the bench for 16, reserve Jonny Lawrence added 15, Clay Mounce 14 and Mike Bothwell 13 for Furman, which snapped a two-game losing streak in improving to 6-3.

SC State fell behind 24-6 in the first eight minutes of the contest but rallied to get to within 13 four times, the last time at 40-27 with 4:02 left in the first half, before Furman ended the period on a 16-run, which included four 3-pointers, to go to intermission ahead 56-27.

Furman continued its hot shooting in the final 20 minutes as SC State was unable to mount a rally in the second half. The Bulldogs close out the semester and their non-conference schedule Wednesday at the University of South Carolina. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Colonial Life Arena.
